Oil-free air compressors are essential in industries that demand ultra-clean compressed air. With features like oil-free operation, high efficiency, and environmental friendliness, they are widely used in sectors such as petrochemical, electronics, and pharmaceuticals.

However, water leakage is a common issue during operation. If not addressed promptly, it can lead to severe equipment damage and production interruptions. FOOEN presents this quick-response guide to help users handle such emergencies effectively.

1. Shut Down Immediately to Prevent Further Damage

The moment a leak is detected, shut down the compressor immediately. Continuing to run the machine may allow water to infiltrate sensitive components like motors or control systems. Also, turn off the cooling water supply to prevent the issue from worsening.

2. Inspect and Locate the Source of Leakage

Common causes include worn seals, broken pipes, excessive water pressure, or cooler failure. Locating the exact source is essential.

• For aging seals, replace them promptly;
• For pipe damage, install new, well-sealed piping.

3. Apply Temporary Fixes if Necessary

If the leak is minor, temporary repairs such as wrapping or sealing can buy time for more permanent solutions. While not a long-term fix, this can help maintain operations until full repairs are arranged.

4. Preventive Maintenance: The Key to Long-Term Reliability

Preventive maintenance is far more effective than reactive repairs. FOOEN provides full lifecycle support by routinely inspecting:

• Seal integrity of cooling systems;
• Pipeline condition and connections;
• Water pressure consistency;
• And scheduled replacement of aging components.

This approach reduces risk, prolongs service life, and maximizes equipment uptime.
