Fault finding and repair

Air Compressor Repairs for Screw & Piston Compressors

Repair the failed component and the operating condition that caused it.

Service approach

Repair the cause, not only the symptom

Repair the failed component and the operating condition that caused it. The assessment looks beyond the reported symptom and checks the conditions that affect evidence-led repair and recurrence prevention in mixed compressor fleets.

Scope

What this service can cover

The quotation identifies inclusions, exclusions, parts, travel and items dependent on inspection.

01

Fault diagnosis

Alarm history, pressure, temperature, current and control behaviour checked before parts are replaced. For mixed compressor fleets, the final scope is matched to evidence-led repair and recurrence prevention.

02

Cooling and ventilation

Coolers, fans, thermostatic control, room airflow and hot-air recirculation checked. For mixed compressor fleets, the final scope is matched to evidence-led repair and recurrence prevention.

03

Pressure and control

Inlet valves, minimum-pressure valves, sensors, loading behaviour and distribution losses assessed. For mixed compressor fleets, the final scope is matched to evidence-led repair and recurrence prevention.

04

Oil and separation

Correct lubricant, oil filter, separator, scavenge return and oil carry-over condition reviewed. For mixed compressor fleets, the final scope is matched to evidence-led repair and recurrence prevention.

05

Drive and motor

Belts, coupling, alignment, bearings, contactors, overloads and motor current checked as applicable. For mixed compressor fleets, the final scope is matched to evidence-led repair and recurrence prevention.

06

Complete system checks

Compressor, receiver, dryer, filters, drains, pipework and point-of-use pressure reviewed together. For mixed compressor fleets, the final scope is matched to evidence-led repair and recurrence prevention.

When to act

Conditions that justify an inspection or service call

  • The current condition threatens evidence-led repair and recurrence prevention
  • Service or inspection history is incomplete for the mixed compressor fleets
  • The same alarm, leak or pressure problem is returning
  • Parts are only ordered after a failure
  • The site needs a planned shutdown and clear work scope
  • Management needs evidence to choose repair, overhaul or replacement
