Field Testing Of Gas Turbine Driven Centrifugal Compressor Packages - Test Procedures And Measurement Uncertainties.
Abstract
Field testing of gas turbine compressor packages requires the
accurate determination of efficiency, flow, head, power, and fuel
flow in sometimes less than ideal working environments.
Nonetheless, field test results have significant implications for the
compressor and gas turbine manufacturers and their customers.
Economic pressures demand that the performance and efficiency
of an installation are verified. Thus, an accurate determination of
the field performance is of vital interest, not only to the user of
compressors and gas turbines, but also to their manufacturers.
Discussed herein is the field testing of gas turbine driven
compressors and the measurement uncertainties one can expect
when following appropriate test guidelines. Also mentioned are
common problems and considerations regarding field testing.
