This book will discuss different compressors, how they operate and how to control them and how operating conditions have a significant impact on compressorperformance. Topics covered include the influence of pressure, temperature, molecular weight, specific heat ration, compression ration, speed, vane position, and volume bottles. Different methods of throughput control will be addressed, such as discharge throttling, suction throttling, guide vane positioning, volume bottles, suction valve unloaders and speed control; and how each of these control methods effects compressor life. Compressor surge will be defined and discussed in detail along with the various types of instrumentation (controllers, valves, pressure and temperature transmitters) available and which are most suitable in controlling surge.
