Piston compressor issues
Thread Content
Does anyone knowledgeable know: for a coke oven gas compression rate of 25,000 Nm3/h, what are the approximate values for the motor power, cooling water requirement, and fuel consumption of a piston compressor used to increase the pressure from atmospheric to 2.4 MPa?
Is it equipped with 100,000 tons of methanol? I can only give you an approximate estimate here: the power requirement is around 5,000 kilowatts, the consumption of cooling water is about 500 m³/h. Lubricating oil needs to be added all at once before the machine starts; depending on the capacity of the oil tank, approximately 3 tons of oil is required, with top-ups made as needed based on the oil level.
A single compressor unit is too large; usually, two units are in operation with one as a backup. For a 6M32 model, the motor power of each unit is around 2400, the circulation water volume per unit is about 300 tons, and the amount of oil required initially for each unit is around 1000 liters.
