Excessive vibration, stresses, cylinder loads, thermal distortions, and pressure losses can lead to:
 |
|
Relationships between the different types of analyses typically performed for reciprocating compressors are described in the above figure. The relationships illustrate that the acoustic design can greatly impact many other designs, and
many other designs / analyses can, in turn, impact the acoustic design. |
Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has analyzed design issues in:
Gas transmission Gas distribution Oil and gas production Refineries Gas processing LNG processing Chemical processing Fertilizer production Pulp and paper mills Marine and offshore Petrochemical plants Processing plants
|
|
Potential problems can be avoided if an integrated design analysis is performed prior to installing a new compressor or pump system.
API Standard 618 guidelines are often specified for acoustical and mechanical system needs. ASME Codes for pressure piping B31.3 and B31.8 are
often specified for thermal compressor system studies.
