Compressor Repairs
Common Air Compressor Part Repairs and Replacements
Pressure Control Switches
Pressure control switches measure the air pressure within the air tank, triggering the compressor to shut on or off based on the air pressure level. Because the pressure control switch is one of the most utilized components of your air compressor, they commonly need to be replaced or repaired.
Electric air compressors that use more than 15 amps and generate over 5 horsepower generally require a pressure control switch and a magnetic starter.
Magnetic Starters
Integral to many electrically powered air compressors, magnetic starters enable air compressors to operate at maximum capacity. Magnetic starters function similarly to surge protectors, preventing electrical overloads. In addition, they typically work with adjustable overload relays to ensure the motor starts safely.
Pressure Release Valves
Relief valves prevent your air compressor from operating above its maximum working pressure (MWP). If the pressure within your air compressor reaches its MWP, the pressure release valve opens, protecting you from potentially costly damages or bodily injury. Therefore, a properly functioning pressure release valve is an essential safety feature.
Compressor Drain Valves
After a certain amount of water vapor builds up within your air compressor tank, the drain valve releases that condensation. This prevents corrosion and helps maximize the longevity of your air compressor system. There are several different types of compressor drain valves, including:
- Float-operated
- Timer-controlled
- Automatic
At Precision Compressors & Pneumatics, we specialize in repairing and replacing all types of drain valves manufactured by all major brands.
