Reciprocating compressor middle body cover plate

Therefore, when using reciprocating compressors in recent years, in order to facilitate daily piston rod temperature checks, oil accumulation inspections in the cylinder, etc., we cut off the cover plate on one side of the crankcase (if the valve side is cut off, there may be risks if the packing seal fails). Have you done this? What are the dangers of doing this?
This is definitely not possible. First of all, there will be a torch line between the compressor packing and the oil tank. What if the packing leaks and a large amount of hydrogen or other gas leaks?
Nowadays, they are equipped with high and low pressure tail belts to vent, and the back road is full of air. Just make sure that the tail belt is not blocked and is smooth.
We have on-site venting. If there is a slight leakage, it will be directly discharged into the atmosphere. If the packing leakage is large, the leakage will be recovered.
Mechanical damage, toxic and harmful gases polluting the atmospheric environment
1. Risk of mechanical injury 2. Risk of piston rod corrosion, 3. Risk of gas leakage to the site, risk of danger
I feel it is unreliable and the leakage is uncontrollable.
This is unsafe. If the filler leaks, the mid-body filler will come out. If this was possible, the manufacturer would have designed it long ago.
You definitely can't do this, it will only increase the risk.
I have a general understanding of what you are thinking.
1. The equipment is terrible and dirty. Isn’t it being cleaned and maintained? 2. And also change the cover. These two things are so surprising. Equipment-related users, equipment managers, and production managers should be condemned. It is inappropriate to change or dismantle the original parts of the equipment at will, regardless of the reason, and it will bring potential troubles to the life of the equipment and the safety of use.
