    1. Air compressors contain several safety features to prevent abnormal operation and injury, including relief valves to release excess pressure, bursting discs to rupture if pressure exceeds a threshold, and fusible plugs that melt if temperatures get too high. 2. The compressor also has alarms and trips for low lube oil pressure, high water temperature, no water flow, and motor overload to avoid damage to parts if operating conditions deviate from normal levels. 3. Proper maintenance of the safety features and equipment is important to ensure safe and reliable operation of the air compressor.

    Safety Features and Maintenance Procedure for Air Compressor on a Ship

    Every Air compressor on a ship is fitted with several safety features to avoid abnormal and dangerous
    operational errors of the equipment. If safety, alarms and trips are not present on the air compressor,
    abnormal operation may lead to breakdown of the compressor and may also injure a person working on or
    around it.
    Different safety features on an air compressor are
    1. Relief valve:
    Fitted after every stage to release excess pressure developed inside it. The setting of the lifting pressure
    increases after every ascending stage. Normally fitted between 1st stage and intercooler and 2nd stage –
    after cooler.

    2. Bursting disc:
    A bursting disc is a copper disc provided at the air cooler of the compressor. It is a safety disc which
    bursts when the pressure exceeds over the pre-determined value due to leaky air tubes of the cooler
    (intercooler or aftercooler).
    3. Fusible plug:
    Generally located on the discharge side of the compressor, it fuses if the air temperature is higher than
    the operational temperature. The fusible plug is made up of material which melts at high temperature.

    4. Lube Oil low pressure alarm and trip:


    If the lube oil pressure goes lower than the normal, the alarm is sounded followed by a cut out trip
    signal to avoid damage to bearings and crank shaft.
    5. Water high temperature trip:
    If the intercoolers are choked or the flow of water is less, then the air compressor will get over heated. To
    avoid this situation high water temperature trip is activated which cut offs the compressor.
    6. Water no-flow trip:
    If the attached pump is not working or the flow of water inside the intercooler is not enough to cool the
    compressor then moving part inside the compressor will get seized due to overheating. A no flow trip is
    provided which continuously monitor the flow of water and trips the compressor when there is none.
    7. Motor Overload trip:
    If the current taken by motor during running or starting is very high then there is a possibility of
    damage to the motor. An overload trip is thus fitted to avoid such situation.
    8. Maintenance
