Settle-Out Pressure
Settle-Out Pressure
(OP)
I understood that "settle-out pressure" is the maximum pressure in the compressor/system when the compressor is shut-down but I did not understand how this occurs (e.g. How this pressure is developed?). Can anybody help me?
Thanks
Thanks





RE: Settle-Out Pressure
While running, the compressor will have a high discharge pressure, which drops thru some equipment, back to a lower pressure at the suction.
If the compressor trips off, the pressure will settle out at some point between the discharge and suction pressure. Where it settles out is dependant upon the relative volumes of equipment in the loop.
