ENGINEERING BOOK FOR GAS COMPRESSORS
ENGINEERING BOOK FOR GAS COMPRESSORS
(OP)
Hello
Someone can suggest me a good engineering book about Gas Compressors?
I would like a book where to see:
- Overview of all kind of Gas Compressor (Both Dynamic and Positive Displacement)
- A good engineering treatment for each one. How the specific machine works. Performance and characteristic curve. Regulation. Range: capacity, Compressor ratio, rpm, Psuction, Pdischarge, Max allowable delivery ptressure etc.
- Range of applicability for each machine with reference to the Oil & Gas sector
- Packaging.
- etc
The book must be for professional Engineer.
Thank you very much

RE: ENGINEERING BOOK FOR GAS COMPRESSORS
If you're looking for compression within a plant (i.e., controlled inlet stream at reasonably constant pressure) then there are several books that may work. If you are looking at air compressors there are several good books. If you're looking at wellsite or gathering gas then there is fundamentally nothing that I've been able to find.
I'm not a plant guy, and any air compression that I do is incidental so I don't think any recommendation I could make in those areas is worth much. And I don't have any recommendation to make on blood, guts, and feathers compression. Sorry.
