What to do if Clarke XE (10HP) is running but not pumping air?
If your Clarke Air Compressor (10HP only) is running but not pumping air into the receiver, and air is exhausting from the solenoid after the starter has changed direction from star to delta, check the solenoid valve.
What to do if Clarke Air Compressor runs continuously but can’t attain the working pressure required?
If your Clarke Air Compressor runs continuously but doesn't reach the required working pressure, several factors could be responsible. The suction filter might be blocked, so try changing it. For machines that are not direct drive, the V-belt might be too slack and need tightening. There could also be a leak between the compressor block and air receiver, or leaks in or near the air receiver; tighten the connection and repair any leaks. Ensure unobstructed airflow around the unit.
Why does my Clarke Air Compressor start and stop frequently?
If your Clarke Air Compressor starts and stops more frequently than usual, drain off condensation from the air receiver at least once a week. Locate any leaks in the control unit or inspection cover using soapy water and repair them.
What to do if Clarke XE Air Compressor starts, but stops again after only a few revolutions?
If your Clarke Air Compressor unit starts but stops after only a few revolutions, disconnect it from the mains supply and empty the air receiver. The non-return valve may be leaking, so clean or replace it. If the non-return valve is blocked, possibly frozen, thaw it out, ensuring the unit is installed in a frost-free place.
What to do if my Clarke XE runs continuously and can't reach working pressure?
If your Clarke Air Compressor runs continuously and cannot reach the required working pressure, check the following: * Change the suction filter if it's blocked. * Tighten the V-belt if it's too slack (not applicable to direct drive machines). * Tighten any loose connections and repair any leaks between the compressor block and air receiver or near the air receiver. * Ensure unobstructed airflow around the unit if the suction intake is difficult or the air being taken in is too warm. * If the suction filter is blocked, you should change it.
How to reduce condensation at outlet points of Clarke Air Compressor?
To address condensation at the outlet points of your Clarke Air Compressor, ensure the compressor is not taking in air that is too warm by obtaining a better fresh air supply. Consider using a larger air receiver, as the delivery temperature of air from the air receiver may be too high.
How to cool down too hot electric motor in Clarke XE Air Compressor?
If the electric motor of your Clarke Air Compressor is too hot, ensure that the operational voltage is not too low, and call an electrician to check it. Clean the cooling fins of the electric motor if they are blocked by dirt.
Why does the bleed valve blow when my Clarke XE is not running?
If the bleed valve under the pressure switch blows while your Clarke Air Compressor is not running, the non-return valve may be leaking. Clean or replace the non-return valve.
What to do if Clarke Air Compressor unit starts, but stops again after only a few revolutions?
If your Clarke Air Compressor starts but stops after only a few revolutions, it could be due to a leaking non-return valve. Disconnect it from the mains and empty the air receiver, then clean or replace the valve. Another possibility is a blocked or frozen non-return valve; thaw it out, ensuring the unit is installed in a frost-free environment.
Why is my Clarke XE Air Compressor becoming too hot?
If your Clarke Air Compressor is overheating, it could be due to insufficient ventilation. Ensure adequate airflow to the flywheel or fan and proper venting of hot air. Other causes include a low oil level (check and fill as needed), dirt on cooling fins or the suction filter (clean them), or a partly blocked non-return valve (clean or thaw it out). If the compressor is being overworked, consider using a larger unit.
