Compressor operating at reduced pressure
Thread Content
For system circulation, the original inlet and outlet pressures of the reciprocating compressor are 27.9 MPa/31.4 MPa; it is planned to reduce these pressures to 14 MPa for operation. Is this feasible?
There should be a circulation valve for control, but only provided that the temperature of each cylinder does not exceed the specified limits. Since the temperature of the gas compressed in the cycle is high, it also causes an increase in the system pressure of the upstream gas supply unit. As long as these issues don’t cause any problems, it’s fine. For reference.
Personally, I think it is acceptable for the operation at reduced pressure to be caused by issues with the entire process cycle system.
Lowering the system pressure should be no problem
