In reply to Rem. @Rem: Please do check the condition of piston + piston rings and also the status of crankshaft bearing.

Dear sir,
I have a problem on our main air compressor leading a high cooling
Outlet temperature. On the specification manual it should be only.around 40 to 50 temperature but ours is about 80. We check already the lines and the tubes but no scaling formation found including all valves and pump are operational. . Could you suggest us a problem if there is another possible cause.

Dear Sir,
Please elaborate how the discharge air temperature increases when the suction filter clogged.
Please explain using PV diagrams and any other diagram. This advise is required to teach marine engineering students.
Thanks in advance

Hi! I’m having some trouble with my old air compressor (it leaks), but I’ve just seen an article that talks about Oil-Free compressors (https://www.airpowereast.co.uk/2018/04/oil-free-compressed-air/) so I’m wondering if you could help me decide..

Should I fix the leak, or get a new compressor?

Dear sir, I has a question about point 5. Milky oil in crankcase.
after several checks and inspections we found no evidence of leaking cylinder liner or jacket. Question. Is there any posibility of condensate wáter found to be into the crankcase, as result from the Heat exchange of LT wáter and compressed Air.
