Compressor load adjustment

This post was last edited by shiwang528 on 2011-1-26 21:44. How do the valves function when adjusting the compressor load? For example, at 50% load, are two of the four air-operated valves open and two closed, or are the four air-operated valves spaced 50% apart? Additionally, the main methods for adjusting the load of a compressor are: 1. Clearance adjustment, 2. Load valve adjustment, 3. Bypass adjustment. In what situations are clearance adjustment and bypass adjustment generally used?
Adjusting the load of a reciprocating compressor is very simple – all that’s needed is to adjust the opening degree of the primary inlet valve! Is the click current within the allowable range?
Bypass regulation is primarily used to prevent engine surge
