Centrifugal Compressors - their reliability, maintenance, rotor-dynamics & seals

摘要

Rotating equipment specialist, Amin Almasi, discusses the reliability, operation, maintenance, rotor-dynamics and dynamics of centrifugal compressors. Large, horizontally-split centrifugal compressors are normally used for many low and medium pressure compression services, whereas vertical-split barrel-type centrifugal compressors should be used for high pressure applications or light gases (to prevent leakage).
