Sychronous Belts on Reciprocating Compressors

Sychronous Belts on Reciprocating Compressors

Sychronous Belts on Reciprocating Compressors

(OP)
I'm interested in hearing for anyone who has experience with installing sychronous belts on reciprocating compressors. i.e. Theory aside I always like to know what 'really' happens in situations like this.:)

I'm dealing with 150hp, 200hp and 450hp reciprocating 'process' compressors.

In particular I am interested if anyone has verified/determined:
- how much motor slip increased
- detrimental effects of increased slip on certain motors
- increase in compressor rpm
- experience with passing a 'slug' or 'throwing' a rod
- saftey precautions used to accommodate above
- monitored impact on electrical use characteristics

regards
LHG
