Steps for unloading the inlet of a reciprocating compressor
Thread Content
The steps for unloading the inlet unloader of a reciprocating compressor are five steps, three steps, and one step – what do these mean respectively?
It’s probably the gear levels used to adjust the load; for example, with five steps, there are five levels: 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%
Thank you very much, but why is this called a step? Isn’t this a gear? Is the compressor unloaded in sequence according to the steps of 100-75-50-25-0?
That’s probably the method summarized by the technicians there; of course, the load needs to be released step by step, from higher to lower levels
