How to operate a booster pump specifically
Thread Content
I have a question: does anyone know how to operate the booster pump in the dry gas seal system of a reciprocating compressor? Is this pump driven entirely by drive gas, with no other power source, and what is the approximate maximum pressure that it can achieve?
The booster pump in the dry gas seal system is controlled by the unit’s logic; its purpose is to ensure proper supply of primary seal gas during startup and shutdown. This pump is usually a pneumatic reciprocating pump, and once it is set up, no further operation is required – simply establishing the flow sequence is enough. The maximum pressure that the pump can achieve can be determined by referring to the set pressure value of the outlet safety valve
