Compressor pipeline pressure drop and whether it is under centralized control
Thread Content
Currently, the company uses a compressor room to centrally control all compressors; however, due to the distance of the end points and pipeline losses, the discharge pressure of the compressors in the room is about 1 kilogram higher than the pressure at the end points； Two questions: 1. Can installing a compressor at the end reduce pressure loss and save energy? 2. How is the pressure drop in compressor pipelines calculated? Are there any formulas, tables, or empirical methods for this? I need experts’ advice!
It seems there’s no very good solution for this at the moment; if the compressor is located at the end, the losses in the piping will be much lower, which would be much better
