CSP08 - Analysis and troubleshooting of a piston rod failure of RC
Abstract
Piston Rods are one of the most vulnerable components in reciprocating compressors and, if failing, one of the most important parts that can cause serious secondary damage. Based on an actual experience with a piston rod failure in a H2 recycle and make-up gas compressor of a Vacuum Residual Hydrocracker(VRHCR) plant, this presentation shows how to find out the root cause of the failure, to take a countermeasure, and to produce lessons learned for maintenance.
