A
reciprocating air compressor is normally a heavy-duty, continuous service
compressor. Cylinder construction usually incorporates a water jacketed
cylinder and water jacketed heads to remove some of the heat of compression and
also to improve the lubrication and reduce carbonization of valve parts. Water
jacketing around valve and packing is essential, since these are points of
localized heating.
As time
goes on, you will have lime, water scale and rust accumulation inside the water
jackets, which in time, will overheat the air compressor. This will also occur
in the intercooler and aftercooler. With Dynamic
Descaler® water scale remover, rust remover, lime scale
remover you can clean these vital parts, without disassembling the cylinders,
aftercooler, and the intercooler. Just simply remove the water in/out
connection from each part and circulate Dynamic
Descaler® for the recommended amount of time. After the
circulation, flush with water and connect the water in/out connections back to
the proper location.
If your
compressor is running off a closed loop water system or a cooling tower, you
may want to pour the Dynamic Descaler® into one of these
systems. This will eliminate the downtime in your plant operation versus
disconnecting your in/out connections from each vital part. Before you proceed
with these operations contact the nearest distributor in your area, so they may
be of assistance to you.
For the
proper amount of Dynamic Descaler® and circulation
times, lease refer to the following chart.
