To extend the life of the miniature air pump, you can consider and operate from the following aspects:
First, pay attention to the use of environment
Avoid harsh environment: The micro air pump should avoid being used in high temperature, wet, dusty and other environments, which will adversely affect its normal work and shorten its service life.
Keep clean: Ensure that the working environment of the micro air pump is clean and tidy, and reduce the damage of dust and impurities on the air pump.
Two, the correct use
Regular refueling: The micro air pump needs to regularly add an appropriate amount of lubricating oil in the work to reduce friction, reduce wear, and extend the service life.
Avoid vibration: Avoid vibration when using to prevent pipeline rupture or damage, resulting in poor operation or damage to the pump body.
Avoid dry spin: Before starting the pump, make sure the pump is filled with liquid to avoid dry spin. Dry transfer damages the bearings and seals of the pump and shortens the service life of the pump.
Avoid overload: Ensure that the operation of the pump does not exceed its rated capacity and pressure range to avoid overload and damage to the pump.
Third, regular maintenance
Regular maintenance plan: Make a regular maintenance plan based on the maintenance manual or professional suggestions provided by the manufacturer. In general, it is recommended to perform maintenance every 500 hours, including cleaning the pump body, replacing new oil, etc.
Check the oil quality: regularly check the quality of the vacuum pump oil, such as deterioration should be replaced in time. Generally, replace the oil every 3 to 6 months, and the oil level should be kept in the center of the oil label.
Check the pipeline: regularly check the pipeline and the connection for loosening, timely adjustment; And check the wear of the shaft sleeve, wear should be replaced in time.
Check the seals: Check the rubber seals regularly, such as whether the exhaust valve disc is cracked, and clean the dirt deposited on the valve disc and exhaust valve seat.
4. Choose the right air pump
Brand and quality: When buying a micro air pump, you should choose a good brand and reliable quality equipment. This not only ensures the quality and service life of the miniature air pump, but also ensures the safety of the equipment.
Performance matching: Choose the right micro air pump according to the actual needs to avoid unnecessary losses caused by too large or too small air pump.
5. Innovate the way of use
Undervoltage operation: The study found that for micro pumps such as micro vacuum pumps, their life can be greatly extended by "undervoltage operation". Under the premise that the flow pulsation is acceptable, as long as the pump can start normally, use the lowest possible voltage. This can not only reduce noise, but also extend the service life of the pump. However, it should be noted that in the case of hanging load, the pump must be able to start normally, otherwise it may damage the motor.
In summary, by paying attention to the use of the environment, correct use, regular maintenance, selection of the right air pump and innovative use methods, the life of the micro air pump can be effectively extended.
