Air leaking from inter stage safety valve

Hi dear,


I have a Gentilin air compressor C330/20 which is malfunctioning due to air leaking from inter stage safety valve. This is oil free two stage air compressor.
During pumping air leaking and compressor running continually and trying to fill up the tanks until the cut out point (10bar) has reached. But it won't reached at cut out point because of air leaking, so it continually pumping and as the result air line and piston head are getting hot enough to burn if touched. Because of this air supplying tube ruptured and capacitor explode too.


Furthermore Safety valve is the part of pressure switch not separate unit.


I removed the head where I found reed valves rusted, so I cleaned them and also exchange pressure switch+safety valve but even after these maintenance steps problem is still there.


Any help regarding this matter will appreciated.


Imran
