Traditional compressor monitoring has focused on velocity vibration and rod drop. Hardy provides two additional measurement techniques, Impact and Triangulated Rod Drop, that were developed especially ...

In this whitepaper we focus on the mechanical health and behaviour of reciprocating compressors with four important indicators; impact, temperature (valves and bearings), vibration and rod drop. Table ...

Abstract: This book examines the full spectrum of compressor types, how they operate, how to control them, and how operating conditions can significantly impact their performance. Discussed in detail ...

Abstract: The measurement of in-cylinder pressure during operation in reciprocating compressors is usually done in a destructive test in which a small bore is machined in the side of the cylinder.

Digital transformation is changing the way industry is doing business, and this includes machine condition monitoring of production assets. Hydrocarbon Processing (HP) had the opportunity to talk with ...
