What are the hazards of liquid in the compressor gas stream?
Thread Content
Help: What are the respective hazards caused by liquid entrainment in the gas stream of centrifugal compressors and reciprocating compressors? What are the differences in the damage caused?
In fact, the harm is the same: the item has to be scrapped if it contains a high amount of liquid. Liquids are incompressible; centrifugal compressors experience severe surging. In mild cases, there are problems with the bearings, while in severe cases the rotor is damaged, as well as the piston cylinders and bearings
Agree with the idea of sitting on the sofa: lol
It might cause cylinder collision. Can you make that clearer?
Reciprocating compressors can experience liquid slugging, which can cause damage to the compression components (such as valves, pistons, connecting rods, crankshafts, bearing shells, piston pins, etc.) in a very short time
