PRESSURE SIGNATURES OF DAMAGED VALVES.

Author(s) : JANKOV D., SOEDEL W.

Summary

A METHOD OF IDENTIFYING FAILURES IN COMPRESSORS WAS INVESTIGATED. LEAKAGE FAILURES DUE TO POORLY SEATED OR CRACKED VALVES AND WORN CYLINDERS WERE CONSIDERED. THOSE FAILURES COULD BE DETECTED AND IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE USE OF PRESSURE TRANSDUCER SIGNATURES. SPECIFICALLY, THE CYLINDER PRESSURE SIGNATURE PROFILE FOR A SATISFACTORY LOW SIDE RECIPROCATING COMPRESSOR WAS COMPARED TO THE PROFILE OF ONE WITH AN INDUCED FAILURE. IT COULD ALSO BE DETERMINED WHETHER THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A FAULTY SUCTION OR DISCHARGE VALVE.
