EFRC GUIDELINES FOR VIBRATIONS IN RECIPROCATING COMPRESSOR SYSTEMS - PART I

摘要

The European Forum for Reciprocating Compressors (EFRC) Started to Develop a Guideline That Takes Into Account Recommended Vibration Levels for Different Parts of a Reciprocating Compressor System. The reciprocating compressor's flexibility to handle large capacity ranges, independent of density, makes it a vital component in today's energy markets. One of the disadvantages of a reciprocating compressor is that it generates pulsations and vibrations, which, without limitation and proper attention during design, manufacturing, installation and operation, can lead to fatigue failures, inefficiency, capacity limitations and unsafe situations.
