Abstract

Evaluations of life cycle costs in typical turbomachinery installations have shown that for reliable machines, energy costs normally far outweigh purchase, installation, and maintenance costs. Experience has shown that flexibility in compressor system capacity can often be extremely valuable because many manufacturing plants are limited by compressor capacity. These factors have Jed to increased awareness of the values of efficiency, capacity flexibility, and performance analysis and monitoring, in addition to the traditional values for reliability. Typical compressor system life cycle costs estimates are discussed along with the value and benefits from the use of computerized performance analysis and monitoring techniques. Several typical examples of the application of performance analysis and monitoring technology are shown and the resulting benefits are presented.
