The temperature of my air compressor is running higher than the manufacturer recommended operating temperature. How do I correct this over-heating air compressor problem?
Low oil levels can cause your air compressor to be running hot. Check the oil level as your first step and add Mattei OEM oil. If the over-heating is not corrected by adding oil, then rule out ambient temperature that is too high; a restriction in the system’s air or water flow; or ventilation around the compressor working area. Q. I am considering an air compressor system for my high volume auto repair shop. Do I need to include an air dryer or can I add it later? A: Air dryers are not required but are highly recommended to keep your Mattei air compressor running at peak performance with the least investment in maintenance. If you use your air compressor system for auto body paint you could experience paint spotting. Hidden costs of water in the system includes rusted parts that can cause sluggish air compressor performance serving your pneumatic tools, tools that do not last as long as they could in a dried air environment and air lines not working at maximum air output.
