The problem: A piston-type reciprocating compressor has had valve damage, or the valves just are not sealing for some reason. This low-temperature refrigeration system has a thermostatic expansion ...

Many servicemen experience service calls where the compressor has both a low head pressure and a high suction pressure. Often, the refrigeration equipment is still running, but the product temperature ...

The performance of reciprocating compressors remains a pivotal topic in the design and optimisation of industrial process systems due to their widespread application in refrigeration, energy storage ...

Combining periodic in-person monitoring with a prognostics method for estimating rotational position from pressure readings enhances the ability to predict and address potential failures in ...

This is the first of three articles that describe BP’s experience with reciprocating compressor damage from liquids intrusion at two facilities, in Oklahoma and Alaska. Due to the different damage ...
