Compressor top shaft oil system
Thread Content
What factors determine whether a compressor requires a thrust oil system? Does the compressor in an MTO reactor require a jacking oil system?
Whether a compressor requires a thrust oil system depends on factors: power greater than 10,000 KW； The weight of a single component of the unit exceeds 30 tons. The top shaft oil system conditions for the MTO reactor compressor need to be checked to determine whether they meet the above requirements.
It mainly depends on the size of the rotor; if it’s too heavy, a shaft thrusting system is required
Whether a jacking oil system is required needs to be determined by the unit supplier through comprehensive calculations based on the rotor weight and bearing type.
Check the weight of the rotor; if it’s heavy, a top shaft oil system is definitely necessary
