Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the causes and prevention of explosions and ignitions in discharge pipes and receivers of air compressors, a common but dangerous occurrence in industries using compressed air. The author examines over twenty accidents, providing insights into the role of lubrication, temperature, and design flaws. Despite lubrication being essential for air cylinder function, the author highlights how excessive or improper lubrication can lead to the accumulation of combustible matter, increasing the risk of ignition. The author emphasizes the importance of using high-ash test cylinder oils and avoiding light oils or kerosene, which can create an explosive mixture. The book also discusses the significance of temperature in causing accidents. The author explains how leaking discharge valves can lead to a rapid rise in temperature, potentially reaching the ignition point of accumulated combustible matter. To prevent this, the author recommends regular valve maintenance, including cleaning and examination. Additionally, the book explores the benefits of stage compression with intercooling and aftercooling to manage temperature effectively. By understanding the factors contributing to these accidents, engineers and operators can implement preventive measures such as proper lubrication practices, regular valve maintenance, and efficient cooling systems. The book's insights are crucial for ensuring the safe operation of air compressors in various industrial settings.
