Service and maintenance of your high-pressure compressor

The maintenance interval and number of services depends on the compressor’s operating hours. Exceeding the recommended operating hours can lead to malfunctions, downtime, and unnecessary wear, as well as higher energy consumption. Regular maintenance is therefore essential to extend the lifespan of your high-pressure compressor.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a high-pressure compressor and when do I use one?

A high-pressure compressor is a compressor that compresses air to pressures above standard levels, often from around 200 bar and higher. You need a high-pressure compressor for applications such as filling gas cylinders, breathing air systems, offshore, and industrial cleaning.

What is the difference between a “high-pressure compressor” and a “high-pressure air compressor”?

“High-pressure compressor” is the general term for the device. “High-pressure air compressor” specifically emphasizes that it involves air and that the pressure can be particularly high. Both terms refer to the same category, but the latter places more emphasis on the medium.

How high should the pressure be for my application—200 bar or 300 bar?

That depends on the required final pressure, the type of gas or air, and the storage capacity you need. If 300 bars is not strictly necessary, a 200 bar system can often be more efficient and durable.

What legal requirements apply to a high-pressure compressor?

A high-pressure compressor must comply with the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED 2014/68/EU). The manufacturer must provide a CE declaration for this. Is the compressor part of a larger system with pressure vessels? Then additional requirements apply, such as a Certificate of Consumption (KVI).

How do I maintain a high-pressure compressor to prevent malfunctions?

  • Replace filters promptly and check the oil level.
  • Drain condensate regularly.
  • Pay attention to vibrations and noise, as abnormalities often indicate wear.
  • Use original parts to maintain performance and safety.

What happens if my high-pressure compressor is not properly maintained?

A poorly maintained compressor consumes more energy and wears out faster. Dirty filters, leaks, or incorrect pressure settings lead to reduced efficiency and higher costs. Good maintenance increases efficiency and extends service life.
