Compressor handbook: principles and practice.

Author(s) : GIAMPAOLO T.

Type of monograph: Book, Guide/Handbook

Summary

This book provides a practical introduction to dynamic and positive displacement compressors, including compressor performance, operation, and problem awareness. Complete with real-life case histories, the book demonstrates investigative techniques for identifying and isolating various contributing causes, including design deficiencies, manufacturing defects, adverse environmental conditions, operating errors, and intentional or unintentional changes of the machinery process that usually precede failure.
Extract from the table of contents: general compressor theory; compressor types; effect of operating conditions; throughput control; description of surge; surge control; vibration; valve requirements; instrument requirements; detectable problems; controlling reciprocating and centrifugal compressors in identical processes; optimization and revitalization of existing reciprocating compression assets; piston rod run-out is a key criterion for reciprocation compressors; effect of pulsation bottle; resolution of a compressor valve failure: a case study.
In the appendix: compressor manufacturers; comparison of three types of compressors; conversion factors; air/oil cooler specifications check list; compressor cylinder lubrication; typical starting, operating and maintenance procedures for a reciprocating compressor.
