What is the typical control temperature for the inlet temperature of a catalytic enriched gas compressor?
Thread Content
I keep my device’s temperature between 35-40 degrees. What are the risks if it’s too high or too low? Has anyone tried it?

If it is too high, liquid may be carried along, which can cause shock to the unit, while if it is too low, the components of the compressed gas become lighter, leading to surge in the unit. The specific temperature depends on the design specifications of the unit and the layout of the pipelines; each unit has its own surge line.
The designed inlet temperature for the unit is 40 degrees
Excessively high temperatures can cause coking inside the compressor (polymerization of dienes); it is also necessary to control the temperature at the secondary inlet properly
When the temperature is high, the gas carries more condensed oil； If it’s too low, it’s as mentioned above.
If it is too high, liquid can easily be carried along, leading to shocks in the unit; if it is too low, the components of the medium become lighter, which can cause the unit to operate abnormally
