My compressor is popping on the safety valve on the intermediate filter (2-3 stage). I thought is was the valves, and i changed the suction and discharge valves on the 3-stage. But no luck, the safety valve is still popping when the pressure is reach about 260 bar, and the 3 stage fall out of step. The compressor is delivering the correct amount of air until it popps.
On my last filling ( a 12L 230bar tank), i took some IR-temperature (Celcius) measurement on the valve heads :
2-stage 3-stage
87c 57c 50bar
114c 64c 100bar
120c 64c 125bar
122c 64c 150bar
124c 65c 175bar
127c 67c 200bar
130c 70c 225bar
This seems normal for me, maybe a little high on the 2 stage ?
I have no start thinking on the 3 stage sleeve and piston, could this been worn out, and start "sticking" when it reach high temperature and the 2-stage is building up the pressure in the filter ? The oil pressure is also in my mind (at the moment there is no gauge to measure the pressure, but i have order this). Could the pressure become to low, and the temperature rise too much in the sleeve, that this will cause "sticking" the piston ?
