Some Aspects Of Field Performance Testing
Abstract
The incentives are well recognized for conducting field performance tests on centrifugal compressors in petrochemical service. From the maintenance standpoint, stage-by-stage changes in thermodynamic performance are valuable indicators of progressive fouling or seal leakage. Ideally, continuous measures of performance could be used by on-line process control computers to optimize the overall process operation on the basis of current compressor behavior rather than relying on compressor manufacturer's design calculations (predictions).
