Opis

This book provides a practical introduction to dynamic and positive displacement compressors, including compressor performance, operation, and problem awareness. In reading this book readers will learn what is needed to select, operate, and troubleshoot compressors. 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.

This book discusses different compressors, how they operate, how to control them, and how operating conditions have a significant impact on compressor performance. Topics covered include the influence of pressure, temperature, molecular weight, specific heat ration, compression ration, speed, vane position, and volume bottles. Different methods
