Piston compressor
Thread Content
What factors affect the operating cycle length of piston compressors, and how is the descent speed of the piston rod controlled?
There are 16 reciprocating compressors in the workshop, and I really don’t know where to start. . . But it is necessary to set benchmarks and carry out predictive maintenance accordingly
There are too many factors that influence the operating cycle; any component on the compressor can affect its operating cycle. The downward movement of the piston rod is a very precise figure; it can only be used to observe trends and critical points, but it’s difficult to control. At least those I’ve come across so far haven’t said it can be controlled.
I mean, is it possible to slow down the descent of the piston rod by changing the way it is operated, since the descent speed varies depending on the method of operation.
This requires establishing a database for unit operation – do you need statistical analysis of the operating time for each spare part?
