Hello!
Anybody knows how to identify that i have problems due to liquid entrainment in the compressor.
Besides the level control of the scrubber, there is another signal, such as vibrations or something else??
Thanks!!

Dear mb04,

 

Some indications are chambers and valves increases temperature (damage), pitting corrosion, salt deposits, and diluted lubricants.

 

You can review the article "Liquid entrainment" in Oil&Gas Jornal (OGJ, May 18, 2009, part 1, and Jun08, 2008 part 3).

 

Attached I send you another basic information.

 

I hope help you.

 

Regards,

 

Napo.

Your query can't be addressed in a specific way without you at least furnishing the essential basic data.

 

For example, WHAT TYPE of compressor are you referring to?  This makes all the difference in the world in addressing such a problem -- and you should know that.

 

If you require a logical and helpful response, you should furnish our members with ALL the basic data you have.  The fluid, its characteristics, the temperatures and pressures, compressor make, size, driver, etc., etc., .......
