Liquid at volumetric compressor inlet
Liquid at volumetric compressor inlet
(OP)
Hello, if there is a liquid phase (for example 10% liquid, 90% gas) at the inlet of a volumetric compressor, does the failure of the compressor results from the fact that the phase change (liquid evaporation) in the compressor causes local thermal constraints ?
Thanks
Omar.
Thanks

and
if the compressor breaks after liquid goes into a compressor designed to compress gas from low pressure to high pressure,
why do you think the problem is a transient thermal restraint?
The compressor probably broke because you let liquid go into the compressor.
