Effective Foundations, Anchor Bolts And Grouting For Recips: Careful preparation is essential for long-term performance

摘要

This article addresses foundations for high-speed, separable, reciprocating compressors from 1000 to 5000 hp (745 to 3728 kW) with operating speeds of 720 to 1200 rpm. In many cases, such foundations and their compressor package attachment methods are not being adequately designed, specified and installed.
