Air Compressor Maintenance - Reciprocating Compressor

by Marcel Ely, from the Community

Use this air compressor maintenance checklist to perform preventive inspections on reciprocating compressors. Sections cover general inspection (inlet filter and housing, oil level and leaks, vibration, belts, safety valves, regulator, pressures and temperatures, coolant type and changes, intercooler and aftercooler cleaning, line filters, air leaks, dryer, belt guard, pressure switch, condensate drains, oil water separator, and cleaning), plus electrical checks (voltage, amperage, voltage drop, full load amps, contactors, connections, and duty cycle tests). Schedule daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly tasks to maintain efficiency, reliability, and safety, and capture comments and inspector sign off.

Oil-Less Air Compressor Maintenance Checklist
This preventive maintenance checklist guides technicians through servicing an oil-less air compressor. It outlines required tools and safety steps, including lockout tagout and following manufacturer instructions, then covers core inspection tasks: listen for unusual noise and vibration, confirm discharge pressure, check for air leaks, change air filters as needed, test the safety relief valve, verify proper cycling and overall operation, and record findings and maintenance hours in the equipment history log. Use it to standardize routine service, reduce downtime, and improve compressor reliability and safety.
