NEWTEK Practical Guide for Reliable Performance
1. Introduction – Why Daily Maintenance Matters
Oxygen generators are critical assets in medical, industrial, and energy applications. For hospitals, they guarantee stable medical oxygen; for steel, glass, and chemical industries, they support uninterrupted production; for aquaculture, they ensure oxygen-rich water for higher yields.
Without proper care, performance may decline, leading to costly downtime and compliance issues. NEWTEK oxygen generators, known for modular design and turnkey reliability, perform at their best when supported by daily maintenance routines.
2. Daily Maintenance Checklist
A structured daily routine prevents small issues from becoming big failures.
🔹 Visual Inspection
Inspect pipelines and fittings for leaks.
Check pressure gauges, purity analyzers, and alarms.
Listen for unusual vibrations or noises.
🔹 Oxygen Purity Monitoring
Record oxygen concentration daily (target ≥93% ±3%).
Watch for unusual fluctuations.
Utilize NEWTEK's built-in purity analyzer and remote monitoring features.
🔹 Inlet Air System Care
Drain condensate daily to prevent moisture contamination.
Check compressor oil levels and cleanliness.
Inspect pre-filters and coalescing filters for clogging.
🔹 Pressure and Flow Readings
Compare outlet pressure with system requirements.
Record daily oxygen flow rates.
Investigate sudden drops or abnormal variations.
🔹 Valve and Piping Inspection
Listen for irregular solenoid valve switching.
Check for heat build-up on valves.
Confirm oxygen/nitrogen pipelines remain intact.
🔹 Electrical System Monitoring
Confirm stable voltage supply.
Verify PLC and control panel indicators.
Inspect wiring for overheating or loose connections.
3. Preventive Cleaning & Safety Protocols
Daily care is not only about performance but also safety compliance.
Cleaning
Wipe down dust and debris from the generator body.
Keep control cabinets clean and dry.
Lubrication
Apply proper lubrication to compressors and bearings as recommended.
Avoid over-lubrication to prevent contamination.
Safety Rules
Never expose oxygen systems to oil, grease, or flames.
Always wear clean, oil-free gloves when handling oxygen pipelines.
4. Common Daily Troubleshooting Cases
Case 1: Oxygen Purity Drops
Check inlet filters.
Inspect PSA tower cycle times.
Verify no leaks exist in oxygen pipelines.
Case 2: Unusual Noise
May indicate compressor bearing wear or valve malfunction.
Stop the generator immediately and perform inspection.
Case 3: Pressure Fluctuations
Drain excess condensate.
Inspect regulators and pressure pipelines.
Check for hidden leaks.
