With the summer months quickly approaching, there are many things you have to consider, and your air compressors are no different. As the temperature starts to rise during the summer months, it is vitally important that your air compressors are optimised for the warmer weather. This process is known as \u2018summerisation\u2019. <\/em><\/p>\n

In this article, we are going to discuss in more detail the summerisation of compressors and how to make sure your air compressors are optimised for the summer months.<\/em><\/p>\n

What is summerisation?<\/h2>\n

Summerisation, within the context of compressors, involves taking certain steps to ensure that your air compressors can operate efficiently and effectively during the hotter months of the year.<\/p>\n

While this may not be something you would consider when it comes to air compressors, it is extremely important to take the necessary steps in preparation for summer.<\/p>\n

Why is summerisation important?<\/h2>\n

There are a few important reasons why it is necessary to summerise your air compressors. Let’s delve into this in a bit more detail now. <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The higher temperatures experienced in summer can cause air compressors to overheat. This can then lead to malfunctions and breakdowns. Therefore, it is crucial to summarise your air compressor to avoid unnecessary downtime.<\/li>\n
  2. Humidity levels can cause moisture build-ups within the air compressor itself, which can lead to corrosion and damage internally.<\/li>\n
  3. The increased demand for compressed air during summer can put additional strain on the compressor system, which can lead to increased wear and tear and underperformance.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What you need to be aware of when summerising your air compressors<\/h2>\n

    When it comes to summerising your air compressors, there are some things that you need to be aware of, including the following:<\/p>\n

    Keep your air compressor in a well-ventilated area<\/h3>\n

    Firstly, you need to ensure that the air compressor is located in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. This will help to prevent the air compressor from overheating and ensure that it operates at optimal temperatures. <\/p>\n

    Keep on top of maintenance<\/h3>\n

    Secondly, you need to inspect the air filters, oil levels and belts to ensure that they are in good condition and properly lubricated. This will help to ensure that the air compressor is able to operate efficiently and effectively. <\/p>\n

    Check the drains<\/h3>\n

    Finally, you need to ensure that the condensate drains are functioning properly and that there is no moisture buildup within the air compressor.<\/p>\n
