Second, running a leak
Leakage of the lubricating oil of the equipment;
Leakage occurs in compressed air, etc., and sometimes the sound of air leakage can be clearly heard;
Leakage of cooling water, etc.
The main reason for the leakage is that the equipment and accessories are not aged or maintained, especially due to the bad behavior of the employees or the inadvertent operation.
These seemingly small problems can lead to very serious consequences, even though they are hidden behind various appearances.
Taking compressed air as an example, leakage not only directly wastes expensive electric energy, but also causes a burden on electricity, and may also cause system pressure drop, which reduces the functional efficiency of the pneumatic equipment and shortens the life of the equipment.
At the same time, air leakage can cause equipment to circulate more frequently, thereby increasing the operating time of the air compressor, which results in additional maintenance requirements and potentially increased unplanned downtime. Simply put, compressed air leaks increase unnecessary compressor capacity.
Leakage, coupled with the FAQ that exceeds the required system working pressure, leads to so-called “false demands” that keep the compressor loaded and innocent.
All of this has a negative impact on productivity and shortens the life of almost all system equipment and pneumatic tools. Excessive energy use and reduced equipment life is a double blow to the factory owners and must be taken seriously.
