Maintenance of Compressor | Loctite

Challenges

Compressors are the most widely used machines in an industry. Whether large or small, compressors play a very critical role in the seamless functioning of a plant and affect energy efficiency to a large extent. Increase compressor reliability and reduce overall costs through these proactive maintenance solutions.

Bearing Frame and Housing

Bearing Frame and Housing

Challenge 1: Air leaks through threaded pneumatic fittings

Air compressors must withstand up to 14 bar and 110^oC. Threaded fittings become vulnerable to leaks under such operating conditions, affecting efficiency. Thread tape does not seal brass and copper threads effectively and their leftovers can migrate to inner mechanisms choking them.

Solution: Seal threaded connections with LOCTITE 542 Thread Sealant

Challenges 2: Spun bearings on shaft and damaged housing

Conventional methods provide limited metal to metal contact that can lead to loosening of bearing under dynamic loads. This can lead to shaft and housing wear and can cause decrease in compressor efficiency.

Solution: Secure bearings on shaft with LOCTITE 609 Retaining Compound

Challenge 3: Frequent loosening of frame bolts

Heavy vibration and thermal fluctuations can lead to loosening of frame bolts. This can damage the assembly and necessitate repeated tightening.

Solution: Secure frame bolts with LOCTITE 263 Threadlocker

Challenge 4: Leaks from gasket failure

Compressor flanges are rigid and machined. Pre-cut gaskets cannot plug the surface imperfections properly. Failure of flange gaskets can lead to costly leaks and frequent need for flange machining and gasket replacement.

Solution: Seal flanges with LOCTITE 518 Gasketing Compound

Challenge 5: Label bonding

Fixing identification tags on the compressor housing through bolting or welding can damage the casing.

Solution: Easily and aesthetically fix identification tags with LOCTITE 454 Instant Bonding Adhesive
