How Can Ingersoll Rand’s CARE™ Programs Help Maximise Your Savings Opportunities?
- Genuine Ingersoll Rand OEM parts are optimised for thermal conductivity and pressure drop, ensuring your compressed air system operates to specification, thus lowering your costs. The alternate use of non-OEM parts can have costly impacts on your operations, as they won’t align with compressor specifications, which can lead to potentially dangerous equipment issues. They also won’t be optimised for thermal conductivity, pressure drop or Ingersoll Rand’s standards. This can result in decreased performance and excessive operational costs.
- OEM parts are also delivered at preferred pricing to ensure your compressed air system operates to its exact specifications.
- PackageCARE™ offers more flexibility than an extended warranty, enabling you to add older equipment, filters, and dryers, or include a rental compressor without it increasing your costs. It also covers corrosion, wear and tear, materials, and workmanship.
- The inclusion of Helix™ ensures preventative 24/7 remote monitoring that alerts you of issues or inefficiencies before they become costly issues. This way, you can deal with issues before they become downtime, thus maximising your uptime!
Compressor Servicing FAQs
We understand that the running of your facility and operations will take precedence, often resulting in air compressor servicing taking a back burner
This is why Ingersoll Rand aims to provide you with all the information and support you need to take the guesswork out of compressor servicing
To offer you complete peace of mind, below are some of the questions we’ve found are the most frequently asked
How often should you service your air compressors?
Usually, maintenance and service intervals will depend on the operating time and hours of your compressor. However, even if your air compressor doesn’t reach its operating hours within a 6 to 12 month period, or until the next recurring maintenance, it will need a service. This is down to wearing filters, oil and parts, which are subject to a sustained ageing process. To ensure operational safety and trouble-free operation, it’s recommended to observe the specified maintenance intervals depending on the type of facility. The absolute minimum interval is once a year.
How often should you change your compressed air filters, whether that may be an oil filter, fine separator filter, air filter, or compressed air downstream filter?
This completely depends on the type and function of the filter element and the environment and ambient conditions of the installation. Generally speaking, though, all filter elements should be changed at least every 12 months.
Why is it important to regularly replace your filter elements?
Regular replacement of any filter element, regardless of its type or function, is critical to reducing pressure drops and energy costs and ensuring the continuous delivery of high-quality air to the correct standard required.
How often should your compressor oil be changed?
An oil change goes hand in hand with recurring maintenance. However, this answer is entirely dependent on what type of compressor oil you use. Typically, mineral oil should be changed every 4,000 operating hours, whereas synthetic oils can last twice as long. Here, you also need to consider suction conditions and installation as these factors may influence oil change intervals. If you are unsure, it's recommended to have a laboratory oil analysis, which checks the oil condition.
What type of compressor oil should you use?
In principle, the compressor oil approved by the plant manufacturer is the ideal choice. In oil- lubricated systems, compressor oil is of great importance and must cool, compress, and lubricate. It also needs to be separable again afterwards. Depending on your application, mineral, synthetic, or food grade oils can be used.
When does the compressor airend need replacing?
On an oil-lubricated compressor, the compressor airend is often subject to bearing wear due to its design. The bearing manufacturers specify a running performance of around 35,000 hours. Once they have reached this number of operating hours, we’d recommend a preventative exchange of bearings.
What is the lifetime of a compressor? How can you extend it?
Operating hours is the significant factor that contributes to the service life of a compressor, rather than its year of manufacture. Therefore, it’s hard to quantify a service life. Due to technical progress and subsidy programmes, it should instead be quantified whether an economic or ecological value can be created by replacing older compressed air equipment. This value may be otherwise achieved by modifying existing compressors, for example, by replacing energy-efficient electric motors, or by retrofitting heat recovery systems.
When do you need to carry out a pressure vessel test?
The Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health (BetrSichV) regulates recurrent pressure vessel inspections. This specifies that a visual inspection should be performed every 5 years and a pressure test every 10. This could vary in different regions and countries – please check local requirements.
If the pressure volume product is less than 1000L (maximum permissible pressure of the tank x tank volume < 1000L), this test can be performed by a competent person.
If the volume is over > 1000L, the test must be carried out by an expert from an approved inspection body (ZÜS), such as TÜV or DEKRA.
Can you conclude a special service agreement for your air compressor?
Every individual compressed air system has its own bespoke features and requirements. It is possible to obtain a service agreement for all of these features and requirements, and determine the scope of the servicing agreement yourself. In this way, together, we can ensure that operational costs and reliability are guaranteed.
Is there a monitoring system available for our compressors?
For all of our compressors, we offer the HelixTM Connected Platform as a standard feature on new models and a potentially retrofitted addition to older systems. HelixTM monitors the operating conditions of your compressors, thus enabling 24/7 monitoring of your compressed air system.
Can you retrofit a heat recovery onto your old compressors?
Heat recovery is the key to increasing energy savings, as it enables the recycling and repurposing of the heat created through the compression process. Heat recovery systems can be retrofitted to old air compressors, but the design needs to be agreed upon to ensure efficiency and safety.
Does it make sense to switch off your refrigerated dryer at the end of production to save energy?
Ecologically, it’s always a good idea to switch off unnecessary consumers of energy. However, when it comes to refrigerated dryers, it should always be remembered that the dryer capacity is not immediately available after the dryer has been switched on. Refrigerated dryers need a pre-run to cool down their system, and the time for this varies from dryer to dryer, so as a precaution, the dryer should be switched on half an hour before the compressor starts.
The air dryer should remain switched on permanently, if the dryer cannot be started in time. This is because the energy and costs required to remove the condensate from the piping system exceed the potential savings offered by switching off the refrigerated dryer.
Why does your compressor tank heat up?
Compressor tanks heat up because heat is a natural by-product of the compression process. The release of heat during compression heats up the oil, and the air, and thus also the tank.
How much compressed air can flow through a pipe?
This depends on several factors, including conditions, pipe diameter and materials. For more information, check the specifications on (Ingersoll Rand Products Link Doesn’t Work) or the pipe manufacturer’s specifications.
Can air compressors explode?
An important consideration to always keep in mind is that compressed air can be dangerous. It should therefore be used with appropriate caution. Even high-quality equipment can have defects if maintained, used or handled incorrectly. Since the air is under high pressure, there is of course the risk of sudden decompression in the event of a defect.
Can the container of an air compressor be welded?
If the vessel of an air compressor needs to be welded, the welding process must be performed by an ASME-certified welder, as all pressure vessels supplied by Ingersoll Rand are certified. ASME-certified welders must, therefore, also carry out any welding work on these vessels.
Does air compressor operation produce carbon monoxide?
By design, air compressors compress the ambient air. Whilst electrically powered air compressors do not produce carbon monoxide when operating, they may suck in and compress carbon monoxide if it happens to be present in the ambient air. If you have any concerns about carbon monoxide, make sure to always check the applicable regulations.
Does an air compressor filled with compressed air weigh more?
If the air reservoir contains compressed air, it weighs more than it would if it were empty. As a rule, you shouldn’t work on or move compressed air equipment connected to the power supply or under pressure.
