Seeking guidance on compressor selection principles
Isn’t this problem a bit too broad? It needs to be narrowed down to a certain type or set of operating conditions; otherwise it will be overwhelming
Discussing actual operating conditions makes it easier for everyone to communicate, such as what type of equipment is used, what medium is involved, specific requirements, design parameters, and so on.
At the very least, one needs to know the general situation first in order to make a choice. Otherwise, this work simply can’t be carried out.
Operating conditions. . . . . This depends on the operating conditions. . . . . . There are no conditions at all. . . .
The problem is indeed too big; I guess he seems to be asking whether to use a steam turbine or a reciprocating engine. Well, that also requires knowing your specific operating conditions
It’s principle-based; it seems that in the compressor design manual, there are values calculated based on parameters such as operation, maintenance, and failure rate, and these values are then used to select from a table. I didn’t pay attention at the time; if needed. I can look for it for you.
In principle, stable, reliable, economical, and advanced units are selected.
