Causes of compressor and fan surge
Thread Content
As the title suggests, what are the causes of surge in compressors and fans?
Causes of surge in centrifugal compressors and preventive measures http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-92609-1-1.html (Source: Haichuan Chemical Industry Forum) Questions regarding surge problems in centrifugal compressors http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-67616-1-1.html (Source: Haichuan Chemical Industry Forum) Take a look at these two posts first
1. As the intake air temperature rises, the air density decreases, making surge more likely in summer than in winter.
1. As the intake air temperature rises, the air density decreases, making surge more likely in summer than in winter. 2. Decreased inlet pressure (clogged filter, high suction negative pressure) resulting in a reduced centrifuge speed. 3. Increased pressure in the piping system (poor exhaust flow). 4. Decreased inlet pressure (clogged filter, high suction negative pressure). 5. The outlet pressure of the centrifuge is set at the edge of the surge point; the root cause is insufficient air intake
