Without wanting to sound fussy, you need to give us details. What does the compressor trip out on - overload, excessive temperature, vibration, high or low gas pressure, high or low oil pressure? As stated, the question is like saying: my car has stopped, why?

I suggest you find the operator's equipment log for the compressor, or better still, make one. You should have FOR EACH COMPRESSOR CYLINDER Suction pressure and temperature
Discharge pressure and temperature
Clearance or unloading step for cylinder Cooling temperature in and out (if cylinders are circulating cooled) Oil pressure and temperature, in and out Cylinder lubricant rates
Vibration levels at ends and center of frame (if a vibration problem) Readings on Driver, assuming this is a compressor frame with motor or engine driver:
Motor:
Power input, KW
Running speed, RPM
Winding temperatures
Bearing temperatures
Vibration levels
Oil Temperature (if equipped with circulating oil) For Engine Driver:
Oil temperature, in and out
Coolant temperature, in and out
Engine manifold pressure or vacuum
Fuel pressure
Fuel flow rate if available
Exhaust temperature for each power cylinder

These items, read and recorded every 15 minutes or so, should give a good indication of where the problem is starting. Then you can begin to evaluate what the machine is being required to do, and how it is responding as the conditions change.

   I hope Somebody can help me on this regard.

   Thanks & regards,
