The thermal valve can play a major part in causing your air compressor to overheat. By making sure you always have a new thermal valve to hand, you can ensure that you don’t have any downtime if it is the issue. You can also compare a new one to your existing one to see if it is the actual cause of the overheating.

How to Prevent Air Compressor from Overheating?

Prevention is key! 

• Improve Internal and External Ventilation. Check on your compressor’s vents and ensure that they are not only clean, but are sized appropriately to the demands of the machine. You should also ensure that the compressor room is sufficiently ventilated – if it’s not, look into relocating your compressor into a space that is more suitable. Note: these checks should occur on a regular basis!
• Inspect Oil and Lubrication Levels. As stated above, lubrication acts as a coolant, so monitor the oil and lubricant levels in your compressor often. Additionally, if the oil is thin or appears watery, the heat level could already be too high.
• Routine Maintenance. The simplest action to take to prevent overheating is to have routine maintenance performed on your compressor!
