Reciprocating compressor diagnostics detecting abnormal conditions from measured indicator cards.

Author(s) : MACHU E. H.

Summary

Modern compressor analyzers enable plant operators to monitor compressors by acquiring and storing pressure changes measured inside the working cylinder, in suction and discharge chambers, furthermore ultrasonic signals and temperatures. The paper focuses on pressure changes inside the cylinder and the possibilities of detecting abnormal operating conditions, in particular valve leakage, by analyzing deviations of recorded pressure volume cards from ideal diagrams.
