What are the consequences of starting a reciprocating compressor under pressure?

As title
The main consideration is the motor load factor; starting under pressure increases the starting load on the motor, which has a significant impact on it and can easily lead to damage to the motor or cables. When the compressor is first started, the piston force is much higher than it is during normal operation. If there is pressure present at this time, it will result in an even higher piston force; in mild cases this leads to overload and shutdown of the compressor, while in severe cases it can cause rapid wear of the bearings.

It is mainly due to the motor load factor, which has a significant impact on the motor and can easily cause it or the cables to burn out. It may also damage the compressor’s valves.
A high starting load can have an impact on the motor. In severe cases, it may cause damage to internal components such as the compressor rods
When a reciprocating compressor is started under pressure, the load on the prime mover can become excessive, leading to damage or even destruction of the machine. Lubrication for both the compressor and the prime mover is insufficient during startup, and under such excessive loads, lubrication components such as bearings can be damaged.
Agreed! ! The load under pressure must be very high! !
Starting under pressure results in high starting load; the resistance and torque may exceed the motor’s starting torque, making it possible that the motor cannot start. The biggest fear on site is that the unit designed cannot be started. . .
