Hi
Please I need help,
What is the conditions operate 02 reciprocating compressors in parallel (the both compressors are same)
Thanks.

No details or data so difficult to provide an answer

We have 02 reciprocation compressors (data by compressor: Q=8000 Nm3/h, discharge pressure 406 Psi) in our case one compresor march 50% to 75% , the second is stand-by.
Now we need install the third compressor (same data).
New operating conditions: 02 compressors march and 01 stand-by, so how to use the both compressors in paralle.
Thanks

"O2" - Do you mean two or Oxygen?
"march 50% to 75%" - sorry don't understand what this means - do you mean it only operates at 50 to 75% of capacity??
"Now we need install the third compressor (same data)." - Why if one compressor is not at full capacity?
So long as the three machines see the same suction pressure and have the same compression ratio, and are fixed speed, then they should share duty equally.
I'm really not sure what your concern or problem is and suspect you are only giving us 10% of the information.
