Summary

TWO DIFFERENT COMPRESSOR TYPES, ONE RECIPROCATING, ONE SCREW, BY THE SAME MANUFACTURER HAVE BEEN THE SUBJECT OF A STATISTICAL STUDY. 16 RECIPROCATING COMPRESSORS FROM ONE SHIP AND 12 SCREW COMPRESSORS FROM THREE SHIPS HAVE BEEN STUDIED. ALL THE SHIPS ARE OPERATED BY THE SAME COMPANY OVER THE SAME ROUTE. EVERY MAINTENANCE OR FAILURE PROBLEM HAS BEEN LISTED AND A STATISTICAL ANALYSIS PRODUCED. THIS INDICATES, WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN EXPECTED, THAT THE PROBABILITY OF BREAKDOWN IS HIGHER WITH THE RECIPROCATING COMPRESSORS WHICH HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE PARTS. A COMPUTERISED STUDY OF THIS TYPE IS HOWEVER USEFUL IN THE DESIGN OF A PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM. D.W.H.
