Critical Areas In Centrifugal Compressors
Abstract
In recent years mechanical equipment has seen extensive uprating in the form of higher speeds, pressures, temperatures and power levels. The advance in the equipment has reflected itself in making economically feasible processes, which in the past could not be justified. At the same time difficulties with various pieces of equipment have resulted in large losses and have created an awareness of the necessity for highly reliable mechanical equipment. Many organizations including users, manufacturers, and service organizations have participated in programs to minimize the risk and to implement procedures for evaluation. Over a period of time numerous problem areas have been addressed and considerable case histories accumulated. Frequently solutions have been rather simple ones: whereas in other instances, the problems have required extensive redesign and in some cases, additional development.
