Understand & Predict Your Centrifugal Compressor Performance




Understand & Predict Your Centrifugal Compressor Performance

Centrifugal compressors of various designs and applications are encountered nowadays throughout refining, petrochemical and process industries as well as in power generation and environmental engineering.

These dynamic machines are highly sensitive to the gas operating conditions at their inlet. Operating parameters such as pressure, temperature, compressibility, molecular weight and specific heat ratio of the gas as well as the compressor's rotational speed strongly affect the performance of these machines.

This training course will show you how to use the performance curves and a set of equations to calculate the effects of changes in these operating parameters. This will give you the necessary tools and place you in a better position to understand, evaluate and predict your compressor performance and behavior for a successful operation of your plant and piping system.

The training course is designed around a series of practical examples which we work through to a solution to reinforce your understanding of this complex topic.

Also included in this training course a valuable Excel Workbook : Centrifugal Compressor Performance Excel Workbook

This workbook provides qualitative and quick comparisons and application notes for centrifugal compressors. It describes calculations and procedures to predict performance characteristics, especially head, discharge pressure and power.

This valuable Excel workbook presents formulas and data for :

  1. General centrifugal compressor calculations

  2. Assessing the effect of one inlet condition change on compressor performance

  3. Assessing the effect of multiple inlet condition changes on compressor performance

  4. Assessing the effect of system resistance on compressor performance

  5. Adjusting centrifugal compressor rated performance curve to actual inlet conditions

  6. Useful Fan-Law relationships

  7. Valuable charts and diagrams for centrifugal compressors

  8. Conversion tables

NOTE : This Excel workbook includes Visual Basic for Application function subroutines. Macros must be enabled for them to work
