Screw compressor bogs down

  • Question Title: Screw compressor bogs down
  • Asked by: Guest
  • Asked On: 01-06-2014 06:07

We have a natural gas operated rotary screw compressor with an ingersoll airend.
Recently, when there is even a slight draw from a air nozzle or auto-drain the compressor bogs down or even dies. It seems as if it is trying to pump too much air too fast. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance, Steve
