I am assuming the oil in the air filter, if its a beltless style would be to keep dust from going inside, like the really old cars were, they called them oil soaked filters. better at trapping dust and dirt.
SOURCE: over heating
OILESS COMPRESSORS WILL HEAT UP MORE THAN OIL FILLED COMPRESSORS,HOW EVER 2 THING'S.CHECK TO SEE THAT THE AIR INLET/FILTER IS NOT BLOCKED OR CLOGED AND MAKE SURE YOU BOUGHT ENOUGH COMPRESOR FOR YOUR USE.HOPE THIS HELP'S
SOURCE: air compressor atlas copco ga30 oil seeping out
you should have an oil trap or two in the line from the out let of the compresor before it go's into the factory
they also trap any water in the air there easy to fit into the line and not very pricy
SOURCE: Atlas copco screw compressor running but not compressing.
what type of compressor, can you please give some more info.?
SOURCE: i am having atlas copco make air compressor, when
need the model number and Sn# of the unit to help .
SOURCE: I have a ATLAS COPCO
Without more info or knowing your compressor my first question to you is,is the oil cooler clean and does the unit have good water flow. DO you have good water flow / pressure. The oil level should be about half way the sight glass running loaded. If the oil level was low ,when the thermostat opens it allows oil to flow to the cooler which lowers the oil level.Typical problems during this time of year are , , dirty oil cooler, Faulty thermostat, Faulty element temperature sensor, Low oil levels and bad oil. Also dirty oil filters restrict oil flow and can cause high element temp. problems. Try back flushing the water side of the oil cooler. Have you checked to make sure the water solenoid is opening. May have a bad coil or valve. May also have water solenoid plugged with something. What is the cooling water inlet temp and outlet temp. The W usually indicates water cooled. If not water cooled, most of the above also applies to air cooled units. just replace water with air if it fits.
