Settle-out pressure 2

[sunleo]

What is the meaning of settle-out pressure for a compressor and how is it calculated

 

[MortenA]

What will be the resulting pressure of the "compressor segment" (that is from downstream ESDV to upstream ESDV) if the compressor shuts down while in normal operation (do not make any sepcial allowances for check valves)?

Find the volume of all upstream and downstream piping and use thermodynamics to calculate the settle-out pressure.

Best regards

Morten

Thank you Morten, for your quick and valuable reply.

API RP 521, 1997, Appendix B details the calculation of Settling out Pressure.
