OPTIMUM UTILIZATION OF CAPACITY CONTROL DEVICES IN RECIPROCATING COMPRESSORS.

Author(s) : VERMA J. C.

Summary

IT IS OF IMPORTANCE THAT THE CONTROL SYSTEM SHOULD BE SUCH THAT THE COMPRESSOR POWER IS ALMOST PROPORTIONAL TO THE QUANTITY OF GAS DELIVERED. FOR THE OPTIMAL SOLUTION OF THE CAPACITY CONTROL PROBLEM, CERTAIN ISSUES MUST BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION AT THE PLANNING STAGE OF COMPRESSOR PLANT SO THAT MAXIMUM SAVING IN POWER CONSUMPTION IS ACHIEVED WITH MINIMUM INITIAL COST AND WITHOUT IMPAIRING THE SAFE RUNNING OF THE COMPRESSOR PLANT. IT IS CONCLUDED THAT CHOICE OF CAPACITY CONTROL DEVICE DEPENDS ON MANY FACTORS. EACH COMPRESSOR CASE HAS TO BE EXAMINED CRITICALLY TO ARRIVE AT OPTIMUM SOLUTION.
