Answer: Under the same running time of the air compressor, the air filter element has different service life due to different working environment and operating conditions of the air compressor.
If the air in the working environment of the air compressor is humid and dusty, the air filter element will be blocked soon; if the air filter element of the air compressor is damaged during installation, transportation or purging and continues to be used, the oil filter element of the air compressor will be blocked soon; if the working environment temperature of the air compressor is high, and the air compressor is stopped for a long time (such as about a month) due to equipment reasons or failure to switch the air compressor in time, the adhered particles on the oil filter element or the oil fine separator will dry and block the filter holes of the oil filter element or the oil fine separator fiber, shortening the service life of the filter element. If the working environment of the air compressor is clean and dry, and the daily maintenance of the equipment is in place in time, the service life of each filter element will be extended accordingly.
Therefore, if the running time is used as the only criterion for replacing the air compressor filter element, it may be replaced in time or cause waste.
