Reciprocating Compressors

Reciprocating Compressors – Fugitive Emissions Control

Posted on September 23, 2009

One of the growing environmental concerns for both new and existing reciprocating compressor installations is fugitive emissions. Fugitive emissions are the leakage of volatile organic…

Reciprocating Compressors

Reciprocating Compressors – Industry Standard Specifications

Posted on September 23, 2009

Reciprocating compressors are generally classified as either low-speed (integral) compressors or high-speed (separable) compressors. API has provided a standard and specification for each type of…

Reciprocating Compressors

Reciprocating Compressors – Foundation Design

Posted on September 23, 2009

Satisafactory compressor installations many times depend on how well the foundation or support structure was designed. An inadequate foundation design can result in equipment damage…

Reciprocating Compressors

Reciprocating Compressors – Pipe Sizing

Posted on September 23, 2009

Because of the reciprocating action of the piston, care must be exercised to size the piping to minimize acoustical pulsations and mechanical vibrations. As a…

Cooling and Lubricating System

Reciprocating Compressors – Cylinder/Packing Lubrication System

Posted on September 23, 2009

The flow required to lubricate the packing and cylinders is quite small, and the pressure necessary to inject the lubricant at these locations is quite…

Reciprocating Compressors – Cylinder Cooling

Posted on September 23, 2009

Traditional compressor cylinder designs require cooling water jackets to promote uniform distribution of heat created by gas compression and friction. Some of the perceived advantages…

Reciprocating Compressors

Reciprocating Compressors – Rod Load

Posted on September 23, 2009

The allowable rod load depends on rod diameter and material, and will be quoted by the manufacturer. The actual load can be calculated from the…

Cylinder Sizing

Reciprocating Compressors – Compressor Flexibility

Posted on September 23, 2009

To enhance compressor flexibility it is desirable to design into the compressor the capability of operating at other than the original design conditions. If it…

Cylinder Sizing

Reciprocating Compressors – Cylinder Throughput Capacity

Posted on September 23, 2009

Using a known piston displacement and efficiency, the gas throughput can be calculated from:
