UNOAIR Weekly Update 11/19/2025 Air Tank and Your Safety
Release date: 2025-11-19
Can an air compressor explode?
Yes—though it’s rare.
It usually happens due to:
• Over-pressure (failed pressure switch or blocked safety valve)
• Rust inside the tank from not draining moisture
• Overheating in poor ventilation
• Electrical faults or bad repairs
• Flammable vapors nearby
How to prevent it:
Drain the tank, keep good ventilation, avoid flammables, and check the safety valve.
Stay safe and maintain your compressor!
