H2 compressors at refinery early show abnormal wear conditions Residual abrasive contaminants in new process units can cause rapid wear of rider bands in reciprocating compressors. Those abnormal wear conditions can be detected at an early stage by continuously monitoring the proximity measures with the help of a PROGNOST®‐NT monitoring system. [...]
Case Study: Impact versus Impact - Comparison of different filter modes for vibration measurement Root cause analysis, impact detection and verification for reciprocating machinery such as piston and hyper compressors are always challenging. When talking about condition monitoring of reciprocating machines, vibration signals are an integral element used for monitoring of [...]
Effective Vibration Monitoring For Reciprocating Compressors Modern standards require frame sensors and more Reciprocating compressors show the highest number of damages while being process-critical at the same time. The reasons why are partially based on the higher number of centrifugal machines in comparison to reciprocating compressors, and operators just [...]
