Small parts make a big difference
In much the same way, non-genuine oil filters too are likely to exhibit lower separation efficiency, inadequate sealing and cracking of the filter paper pleats, all resulting in a damaging unfiltered oil flow. Absence of a bypass valve can also lead to clogging, overheating and breakdown of the compressor element.
Electrical components
Cheaper electrical components are equally tempting but not without risk. A rewind operation for a burned out electric motor may be attractive but a subsequent 10% loss in efficiency may prove less so − replacement with an updated, high-efficiency unit can prove a better proposition. In other areas, system control issues are often found to be the consequence of fitting cheaper but unreliable pressure transducers that are responsible for substantial increases in energy consumption.
Small parts can make a big difference
Well before any compressor reaches work-life retirement age, the simple truth is that only by using original spare parts can its designed performance and efficiency be maintained at the same level as when it was purchased. In that way, investment is not compromised and neither is the compressor’s quality output. What’s clear is that small parts can make a big difference.
