Summary

Accurate data and proper analysis are necessary to compare operating data to the manufacturer's guarantee. Proper analysis is required to justify a project whether it involves new equipment, a rerate or an overhaul. Frequent and regular testing is essential to monitor operating expenses and to aid in determining overhaul frequency. Field testing iso-cooled compressors can be straightforward, but a few precautions are advised. In the case of compressors with economizer nozzles, proper side-load compressor analysis requires internal temperature and pressure probes to properly calculate performance of the individual compressor sections.
