The editor only shows the content posted by the original author. Posted 0225 days ago: The compressor used in our facility is a piston compressor that is used to compress ammonia into liquid ammonia. I would like to know whether there is any damage to the compressor if, due to some issue with the facility, there is no ammonia supplied to the compressor’s inlet for a short period of time What aspects should be paid attention to regarding compressors in daily use? Please share your thoughts; points will be given. Issues related to piston compressors and compressors in general. 0 0 Previous article Next article All comments – view in reverse order.

Personally, I don’t think it has much impact on the compressor; it might cause a vacuum in the inlet tank, perhaps due to pressure buildup in the tank. It’s best to have a return line, with some kind of feedback.
Insufficient air intake causes surge; it’s not favorable for multiple units
The compressor has been evacuated, but it is equipped with a gas replenishment control valve
Does the absence of ammonia at the inlet mean negative pressure? It definitely has an impact on the unit’s stability; it’s as if the intake pressure has decreased, which causes all operating conditions to change. Adding unloading devices or air volume control valves can help regulate the compressor’s air intake, which is beneficial for the stability of the unit’s operation.
Nonsense – how can a reciprocating engine experience surge?
Hehe! Young man, you still have a lot to learn!
