Problems with parallel operation of air compressors
Thread Content
The company has two units with a capacity of 1500 m3/min, two in total. Two more need to be installed now. All are driven by steam turbines. It is for supplying gas externally. I would like to ask what kind of interlock and other protective devices should be installed. In the worst case, such as if an outlet pipe bursts. What about the other three? I would like to ask about the requirements in the field of automatic control
There is a check valve at the outlet of the air compressor; if the main pipe bursts, then the machine should be stopped for repairs.
Thank you. My first idea is to install pneumatic quick-close valves at each outlet, along with pressure monitoring for the main pipeline and shutdown interlocks. Main confusion: What regulatory requirements are there, and how should it be done?
