Reciprocating Compressor Field Testing & Troubleshooting: Performance, Pulsation & Vibration
Field testing and troubleshooting of reciprocating compressors has become increasingly common due to the need to verify and correct issues related to efficiency, power, capacity, and safe operation of a compressor package. The performance test of a reciprocating compressor in the field is often necessary to assure that the manufacturer meets performance predictions and guarantee a customers return on investment. Economic considerations demand that the performance and efficiency of a reciprocating compressor package be verified at the actual field site. The field environment is not an ideal environment and an assessment of measurement uncertainties is necessary to characterize the validity of a performance test. As the working field environments shift further from the ideal case, the uncertainties increase. Previous field tests have shown that the compressor efficiency uncertainty can be unacceptably high when some basic rules for proper test procedures and standards are violated. Following a few basic principles when troubleshooting a compressor can lead to collecting more accurate data which will assist in pinpointing possible issues. Additionally, pulsation effects can negatively affect compressor performance and cause undesirable vibration. Pulsation and vibration field testing is required to identify excitation energies in the compressor which can be mitigated in order to lead to better performance, reduced maintenance, and safer operation. This short course will review the procedures and recommendations outlined for field testing from the recently published GMRC Reciprocating Compressor Field Performance Test Guideline as well as pulsation and vibration troubleshooting practices for reciprocating compressors.
