Could someone expert help explain this?

Why is an anti-rotation line also provided for the reciprocating compressors in hydrogenation units?
“The term “anti-rotation line” is somewhat unfamiliar to me; could you please explain it clearly? Thank you!
What the original poster is referring to might be the anti-surge procedure, as surge only occurs in centrifugal compressors; the main question for the poster is why reciprocating compressors also have a similar procedure. There are many types of return-inlet flow configurations for reciprocating compressors, but they are not anti-surge systems; rather, they are compressor inlet pressure control systems. There are already numerous discussions on this forum for the original poster’s reference. https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1388807-1-1.html
Hello, regarding the explanation of the term “reverse flight path” in reciprocating compressor equipment, it seems to be an assumption regarding the topic raised by the original poster, right? Is such an explanation meant to guide understanding or something else? It’s better to listen to the explanations from the original poster and other experts. Thank you :) If this \"counter-flow path\" is considered to be part of the control mechanism for the check valve, then it represents a means of pressure regulation, which is especially important when dealing with toxic, harmful, flammable, or explosive substances.
