Centrifugal And Axial Compressor Control

Advertisement

The cost of machinery damage and process downtime due to compressor surge and over speed can be from thousands to millions of dollars for large continuous chemical or petrochemical plants. This text demonstrates how to select the proper control schemes and instrumentation for centrifugal and axial compressor throughput and surge control. More material is devoted to surge control because surge control is more difficult and the consequences of poor control are more severe.
