TL10 - A Comparison of Type 1 Versus Type 2 Testing--Recent Experiences Testing a High-pressure, Re-injection Compressor
Abstract
End users and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are faced with decisions regarding that type of performance testing they will require to demonstrate that centrifugal compressors will meet the agreed-upon requirements. This lecture paper details lessons learned by an end user and an OEM during Type 1 and Type 2 testing of a high pressure (>8,000psia, 550bar), natural gas, re-injection compressor. The objective is to give readers insight into some considerations they might overlook when choosing between Type 1 and Type 2 testing.
