What are the effects of a high inlet temperature in the recycle hydrogen compressor?
Thread Content
The temperature in the high-pressure separation tank of the hydrogenation unit is relatively high, reaching up to 50 degrees Celsius at its peak. For now, no significant effects seem to be apparent; but I wonder if, over time, this could have an impact on the compressors.
Circulating hydrogen carried liquid, causing the circulating hydrogen compressor to shut down
At high temperatures, the compressor’s discharge volume may decrease; centrifuges have a greater impact in preventing surge.
The displacement is reduced and the compressor temperature is high, which exacerbates the wear of vulnerable components

The outlet temperature rises, and the circulating hydrogen contains liquid
At high temperatures, more light hydrocarbons are carried, which may enter the recycle hydrogen compressor as liquid and damage it; on the other hand, this leads to a decrease in liquid yield!
