What are
compressors?
Compressors are mechanical devices that
compresses gases. It is widely used in
industries and has various applications
gases are compressible, the compressor also reduces the volume of gas.

Centrifugal Compressor
Achieves
The gas next flows through a circular chamber (diffuser), where it loses
velocity and increases pressure.
temp rise leads into limitation for the maximum achievable pressure
rise.
Discharge temperature shall not exceed 150C and should not exceed 135 0C
for hydrogen rich services
A multistage centrifugal compressor compresses air to the required
pressure in multiple stages.
Intercoolers are used in between each stage to removes heat and decrease
the temperature of gas so that gas could be compressed to higher pressure
without much rise in temperature
Intercooler
Rotary compressors
The
High
Reciprocating compressor
It is a positive-displacement compressor that
Uses pistons driven by a crankshaft to deliver
at high pressure.
The
gases
at higher pressure
Maintenance
Location : should be dry ,
clean , cool
1. Remove all loose pieces and tools around the compressor installation.
2. Check oil level in crankcase.
3. Check motor and compressor pulley for alignment and tightness on shaft
4. Be absolutely certain that all mounting bolts are tight.
5. Manually rotate compressor through enough revolutions to be certain there are
no
mechanical interferences.
6. Check belt tension, it should be neither too loose nor too tight.
7. Check all pressure connections for tightness.
8. Check to make sure all safety relief valves are in place.
9. Check to be sure all guards are in place and securely mounted.
10. Check fuses, circuit breakers and thermal overloads for proper size.
11. Open all manual shutoff valves (block valves) at and beyond the compressor
discharge.
12. After all of the above conditions have been satisfied, jog the starter switch
button to
check the rotational direction of the compressor, it should agree with the rotation
arrow
on the unit.
