Air powered oil extractor unit is a device that uses compressed air as a power source to extract oil. It is mainly used to extract various fluids such as engine oil, lubricating oil, etc. from containers such as automotive engine oil pans and industrial equipment oil tanks.
The core component of an air-powered oil extractor unit is the pneumatic pump. When compressed air enters the pneumatic pump, the air pushes the piston or diaphragm inside the pump to move. Taking the piston type as an example, compressed air acts on one side of the piston, causing it to producea reciprocating motion.
The movement of the piston creates negative pressure in the pump chamber, thereby drawing oil into the pump chamber through the suction pipe. Then, with the reverse movement of the piston, the oil is squeezed and discharged through the oil outlet, completing the pumping process. This working method is similar to a manual oil pump, but the power is provided by compressed air, which is more efficient.
Characteristics of Air Powered Oil Extractor Unit
Efficiency: Compared to manual pumping methods, air powered oil extractor units have a faster pumping speed. It can extract a large amount of oil in a short period of time, greatly improving work efficiency. For example, when changing oil for multiple cars in a car repair shop, using a air powered oil extractor unit can quickly complete the pumping steps.
Safety: Due to the use of compressed air as the power source, it avoids the potential electrical safety hazards of electric pumping units, such as the risk of electric shock. In some environments with flammable and explosive oil, such as oil tank maintenance at gas stations or lubricating oil extraction in chemical enterprises, the non electrical power source of air powered oil extractor units makes them safer and more reliable.
Strong adaptability: air powered oil extractor units can adapt to different viscosities of oil by adjusting air pressure. For high viscosity lubricating oil or engine oil with increased viscosity at low temperatures, normal pumping can be ensured by increasing air pressure. At the same time, it can adapt to different working environments, whether it is used in indoor car repair workshops or outdoor industrial equipment maintenance sites.
Where Can Air Powered Oil Extractor Units Be Used?
Car repair and maintenance: In car 4S stores and repair shops, pneumatic oil extractor pumps are used to extract oil from car engines. It can quickly and cleanly extract old engine oil, preparing for the replacement with new oil. In addition, it can also be used to extract other automotive oils such as transmission oil and differential oil.
Industrial equipment maintenance: In factories, pneumatic oil extractor pumps are used to extract lubricating oil from various industrial equipment oil tanks. For example, in the maintenance of large machine tools, compressors, generators, and other equipment, pneumatic oil extractor pumps can easily extract used lubricating oil for replacement or testing.
In the field of ships and aviation, pneumatic oil extractor pumps are used in ship engines to extract marine engine oil and various hydraulic oils. In the aviation field, it can be used to extract oil from the hydraulic system of aircraft landing gear and lubricating oil for aircraft engines, but strict safety and quality standards must be met when used in these fields.
