Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable suficient supply of compressed air from an air compressor to a main tank when the flow passage is reduced by clogging of desiccant of an air drier by providing a by-pass valve between entrance side and the main tank of the air drier. CONSTITUTION:A byp-pass valve 50 having an alarm switch is provided between entrance side and the main tank 11 of an air drier 4. When pressure of entrance side of the air drier 4 becomes higher than pressure of the main tank 11 by clogging of the filter 37 and desiccant 27 in the air drier 4, pressure of entrance side of the drier 4 is tansmitted to a connecting port 53 through a passage 25, a connecting port 69, piping 68, and pressure of the main tank 11 is transmitted to a connecting port 62 through piping 70. The by-pass valve 50 having an alarm switch receives the differential pressure and moves resisting a spring 60 and transmits the connecting port 53 to connecting port 62. Consequently, air discharged from the discharge port 2 of the air compressor is supplied directly to the main tank and deficiency of compressed air in the main tank is eliminated.

By the way, when drying compressed air using an air dryer, the compressed air is dehumidified by passing through a layer of desiccant, but after many years of use, the compressed air mixes with the compressed air and flows through the air compressor outlet. The desiccant layer is clogged by the oil or its charcoal discharged from the air dryer, and as a result, the flow path in the air dryer gradually shrinks, making it impossible to supply sufficient compressed air to the main tank. arise.

In addition, switching between load and no-load operation of the air compressor is normally done by detecting the air pressure in the main tank, but due to clogging of the desiccant, the flow path to the main tank is reduced, causing the air dryer to close. When a pressure difference occurs between the inlet and the main tank, the discharge pressure of the air compressor becomes too high, resulting in problems such as shortening the life of the air compressor or causing damage.

After that, as the compressed air in the main tank is consumed,
When the pressure in the main tank II decreases and its value reaches the lower limit of the adjustment of the governor 13, the governor 13 returns to the non-operating position and the pressure signal at the control port 14 disappears. As a result, the discharge valve 17 returns to the non-operating position, cutting off communication between the population chamber 34 and the atmosphere, and the air compressor 1 enters a loaded operating state, discharging compressed air from its discharge port. This discharged compressed air is supplied to the main tank 11 where it is dried by the desiccant 27 of the air dryer 4 in the same manner as described above.

Furthermore, when the pressure in the main tank 11 reaches the adjustment limit value set by the governor 13, the governor 13 operates and operates the unload valve 20 of the air compressor 1, putting the air compressor 1 into a no-load operating state. However, when the difference between the pressure at the connection port 53 and the pressure at the connection port 62 of the bypass valve 50 falls below a predetermined value, the piston 59 is pushed to the left by the spring 60. Since both connection ports 53 and 62 are shut off, compressed air in the main tank 11 is not released to the outside air via the bypass 50.

As is clear from the above description, the present invention provides a system between the inlet side of the air dryer and the main tank, in which when the pressure in the main tank decreases by more than a predetermined value than the pressure at the inlet side, the entire air compressor is A bypass valve is installed to supply the discharge pressure directly to the tank without passing through the desiccant, so even if the desiccant or filter in the air dryer becomes clogged and its flow path is significantly constricted, The compressed air discharged from the air compressor can be supplied to the main tank, so there is no shortage of compressed air in the main tank, and the discharge pressure of the air compressor is raised to zero, increasing the durability of the air compressor. There is no risk of degrading it or damaging it.
