Chapter 9 Improvement in quality of maintenance of air compressor

Pramod Belkhode
Abstract
Despite the current inclination toward automation, ergonomically designed instruments continue to be indispensable in contemporary industrial and consumer settings. Ergonomics pertains to the practice of designing with human use in mind. Ergonomics and “human factor” are currently in the news, even in developing nations such as India. Scholars assert that ergonomics is concerned with the human being, his working environment, instruments, materials, and processes. The primary objective of ergonomics is to optimize human comfort and work efficiency. Diverse academic fields contribute to the advancement and practical application of ergonomics knowledge. Ergonomics development is supported by engineers, psychologists, and medical practitioners, among other members of professional organizations. Naturally, engineering expertise facilitates the effective integration of ergonomic principles into the processes of manufacturing, design, and planning. This chapter details the enhancement of air compressor, maintenance, quality, and productivity. This location performs two categories of maintenance: routine and breakdown. Air compressors are employed in these locomotives to sustain 10 kg/cm2 of air, which is utilized for both loco breaking and loco operating mechanisms including the hydraulic gearbox and fuel supply regulation via the governor. The enhancement of air compressor overhauling results in more efficient and effective periodic maintenance schedules, thereby conserving valuable time. An additional work describes the field investigation conducted concerning the overhauling operation of air compressors. A model is developed utilizing approximate generalized field data in order to enhance maintenance quality and productivity.
