Reciprocating compressor packing leakage
Thread Content
There is leakage at the packing of a reciprocating compressor – how to determine whether to replace the packing? Should it be determined solely based on the temperature of the low-pressure gas pipeline in the machine?
It can be comprehensively considered from the aspects of the temperature of the vent pipe at the high point of the compressor casing, the temperature of the leak recovery pipe, and the nitrogen seal pressure
No way, isn’t the valve temperature used to determine whether the valve is functioning properly?
I’d like to ask gently: How can it be confirmed through nitrogen sealing?
The nitrogen seal is intended to serve as a barrier, preventing the process gas from leaking out and contaminating the atmosphere as well as avoiding leakage hazards; if the packing leaks, the nitrogen inside the vessel will contain process gas
We installed a pressure gauge on our nitrogen-sealed pipeline; if the pressure exceeds the normal level, it is necessary to monitor it closely. If the pressure surpasses the specified limit for nitrogen, then the gauge must be replaced
