    3 stages propane refrigeration compressor

    Hi all, we have a typical 3 stages propane refrigeration loop. each stage has a suction KO drum. i'm straggling as to how to calculate the efficiency of this compressor. is each stage evaluating separately? what is the methodology to evaluate the polytropic efficiency?

    Propane Compressor Efficiency

    Thank you georgeverghese, I've used Aspen HYSYS, however, the eff is calculated to be more than one. now in this simulation I've used a multistage compressor and I've stated there is 3 stages. I believe my Aspen Hysys setup is not right. or there is something causing the eff to exceed 100%.

    Propane Compressor Efficiency

    Hello, I have a question about calculating the efficiency of a three stage propane compressor. The compressor has three inputs of propane with different temperatures and pressures, coming from 1st,2nd and 3rd stage knock out drums, and I know the flow, pressure and temperature of the input...
