Category Title
This paper presents information and analysis relevant to the use of temperature as an indicator of main bearing condition, and as a means of protecting reciprocating compressor crankshafts. It summarizes a survey designed to identify current industry practice. It presents historical temperature data from the main bearings of a number of compressors obtained both during startup and during months of steady operation. It presents information on the variance of main bearing temperature with parameters including load, speed, position, time of day,. Season, and time from startup. It synthesizes various monitoring strategies and algorithms. It presents results simulating application of these strategies and provides a recommended framework for main bearing temperature monitoring with guidelines for application to a specific unit.
