L02: Rotordynamic Analysis and Testing on an Integrally-Geared Compressor Serving a Hydrogen Recovery Application
Abstract
The paper examines the case of a rotordynamic analysis and subsequent rotodynamic testing conducted during the pre-order phase for a five-stage integrally-geared centrifugal compressor, which today is operating in a refinery in western India Performed in addition to the standard lateral vibration analysis, a rotordynamic testing method known as unbalance-response-verification-test was performed This was done as a further means to secure the reliability of the compressor’s rotor and bearing design, and the seal configuration (requested by the end user as double dry gas seal) The compressor is deployed within a Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) Tail Gas application where it supports in the recovery of hydrogen
