Industry practice for compressor performance modeling is to make generic assumptions about pressure drop through the piping system. These assumptions can lead to large errors in the calculated compressor performance resulting in the compressor not meeting the original design requirements for capacity. Analytical tools are now available to accurately calculate the static and dynamic pressure drop through all components of the system. Therefore, the compressor application design can be verified in the design stage, thus avoiding costly redesign or retrofit after installation. A number of case studies will be used to illustrate the impact dynamic pressure drop can have on the system performance. This paper will describe the analytical tools used in accurately calculating the system static and dynamic pressure drop. The effect of dynamic pressure drop on the compressor performance will be demonstrated. A design approach will be recommended to ensure the compressor is designed appropriately for the application.
