I have what I suppose is a basic question about the surge point of a centrifugal compressor.
If I'm given the estimated surge in ICFM of a machine, will the surge flow be different if the inlet conditions change?
I've always considered a centrifugal compressor as a volumetric device that is...
Hello. I could use some help on determining whether a CS line with 0.125" CA and PWHT is acceptable in an acid gas service. The acid gas composition is ~81wt% H2S, 5wt% water, 11wt% CO2, and the balance light hydrocarbons. The line operates at 15psig and 130degF. It is a saturated vapor...
Hello. I recently ran into a problem with the startup of a pair of compressors.
The vendor was asked to provide VFDs to allow the machines to turn-down to half of the design gas rate.
The vendor provided a 1000-rpm 200hp motor. On startup, the compressor could not develop the pressure...
Hello. I'm working on a problem right now that I hope someone here can provide some input/ideas. Here's the situation:
I have a superheated steam supply(about 200deg of superheat) that we can't directly supply to an exchanger due to fouling from the high wall temperature. The plan is to...
