Compressor Surge Control: Design And Modeling

摘要

When a compressor reaches itsrnsurge condition, it loses thernability to maintain peak head and the entire system becomesrnunstable. Surge is most accurately described as a system phenomenon - not a localized instability. Under normal conditions, the compressor operates to thernright of the surge line. Compressor surge is sometimes viewed as a common occurrence but design of a proper surge control system should be regarded as both a necessary design practice and an effective fisk-mitigation measure.
