efficiency of compressor

[AnhsirkT]

HOW i can improve my running compressor performance and efficiency and reduce power?
centrifugal compressor

do not think twice

Efficiency is not reducing Power. It is maximising mass compressed vs power consumed.
You can do that by operating as close to the compressor's design point as possible.

I'm not sure if reducing power is a good thing to achieve here. Trying to get the performance and efficiency maxed out while running at an affordable power cost should be the target in my opinion.

Getting to know how to use an air compressor can sometimes be quite handy, luckily there are some guides available.

Reducing unnecessary power consumption should be the objective.

 

[AnhsirkT]

Yes but how can be reduced by action.
What action should be taken by a operater?

Do not think twice

From your previous posts, presume this is a syn gas 3 stage compressor, probably steam turbine drive, with abnormally high temp on stage 1S? What is the cause of this high temp - is it from high flow of hot recycle gas from the HP stage discharge ; or from some cooler - HX on the fresh syn gas feed coming from upstream ?

 

[AnhsirkT]

it high temp from feed gas
inlet gas coming from reactor at higher temp

Do not think twice

So this is not not a compressor problem, but upstream syn gas cooler problem? Details of this cooler pls.

I provide some methods to adjust the effiency of the centrifugal compressor as follows:
1: Inlet flow rate adjustment bai, advantages: control the inlet du port flow rate to prevent excessive exhaust flow pressure. Lack of dao points: waste power
2: Outlet flow adjustment bai Advantages: Control the outlet flow to prevent excessive exhaust flow pressure. Disadvantage: waste of power
3: Frequency conversion adjustment Advantages: The starting current is small to prevent excessive starting current. Disadvantages: long running time without downtime.
4: Bypass adjustment Advantages: Control the outlet flow to prevent surge caused by excessive exhaust flow pressure. Disadvantage: waste of power
