Suction Temperature for sizing gas transmission compression
Suction Temperature for sizing gas transmission compression
(OP)
Regardless of location what is a good suction temperature to size gas transmission Horsepower.
If the answer depends on compressor type. I am sizing for low-speed integrals and/or high speed separable cat-ariel compression.
What do you normally use 60, 70 80F??
Any help will help. Thanks.

The required compression ratio is the key to your study. Machine size is affected by inlet temperatures, with the higher inlet temperatures and lower inlet pressures both requiring larger machines for any given compression ratio. Let the inlet pressure fall too much, or inlet temperatures climb too high, and machine sizes increase and distances between compressor stations become too close.
On the other hand, since denser gas enters the compressor at lower inlet temperatures and higher inlet pressures, smaller machines may be used, but more power will be required with lower inlet temperatures for any given discharge pressure.
you must get smarter than the software you're using.
