Moto-Compressor coupling failure
Abstract
This case study will present the failure of the LS coupling of a variable speed moto compressor, due to a resonance of the first critical torsional speed while running at Minimum Operating Speed. The path followed for the investigation and to define design modifications will be presented, followed by a discussion and lessons learned about separation margins to torsional critical speeds on variable speed trains with disc type couplings.
