Diesel recovery issues with screw compressors
Thread Content
In a certain screw compressor, diesel is injected into the process gas during operation to raise the pressure; after cooling, the diesel is separated in a separator and sent back to the compressor for reuse. However, when the compressor is started, the pressure is too low to establish this circulation, and as a result the diesel is discharged directly outside through the pipelines. What are some reliable methods for recovering this diesel?
Diesel uses forced circulation. . . This is what is commonly used in gas tank screw compressors these days. .
I’m sorry, could you explain in detail? This compressor was newly installed, and this is the first time it’s being tested; cycling operation isn’t allowed either
Diesel is injected into the engine chamber by a centrifugal pump; the injected diesel, along with the medium gas, enters the outlet separation tank, which is connected to the pump inlet
What you mean is backflow, but since this compressor is being started for the first time, there are definitely residual impurities in the pipelines, process gas coolers, and separators; backflow is not allowed
Before driving, these areas must be thoroughly cleaned to prevent impurities from entering the engine; otherwise, diesel consumption will be high and it will be difficult to control it
