When servicing refrigeration or air conditioning systems that incorporate reciprocating or piston-type compressors, worn compressor rings and/or leaky compressor suction or discharge valves can cause ...

The purpose of a compressor in a chiller is to lower the pressure and temperature of liquid refrigerant to a point below the temperature of the brine in order to allow heat to flow from the brine to ...

The performance of reciprocating compressors remains a pivotal topic in the design and optimisation of industrial process systems due to their widespread application in refrigeration, energy storage ...

This is the first of three articles that describe BP’s experience with reciprocating compressor damage from liquids intrusion at two facilities, in Oklahoma and Alaska. Due to the different damage ...

Combining periodic in-person monitoring with a prognostics method for estimating rotational position from pressure readings enhances the ability to predict and address potential failures in ...
