Auxiliary equipments of compressor
Lube oil consoles, Seal oil consoles, Surface condensers, Condensate pump, Air blowers, Inlet air filters, waste heat system, compressor suction drum, knock out pot, Pulsation dampner, volume bottles, Inter and after coolers.
Types of seal oil system
Gravity and pressurized.
Factors to be considered while designing compressor housing
Operation, Maintenance, Climate conditions, Safety, Economics.
Compressor housing design points
Floor elevation, building width, building elevation, hook centerline elevation.
Types of compressor cases
Horizontal split case, Vertical split case.
How to located temperature and pressure instruments
Temperature in liquid space, at down-comer side and pressure in vapour space, in area except down-comer sector.
What are necessary parts of inlet line of compressor
Block Valve, Strainer, Break out flanges in both inlet and outlet to remove casing covers, Straightening vane in inlet line if not enough straight piece in inlet line available, PSV in interstage line and in discharge line before block valve.
