Hi all
we have a khosla make air compressor installed in our unit. Its a two stage double acting reciprocating compressor. Discharge of 1 st stage is passed through a water cooled inter cooler and outlet is fed to second stage.
Generally we encounter with 2nd stage high temp problem while 1st stage outlet temp remains within limit. jacket cooling water inlet and outlet temp are also within limit.We have a doubt that that may be some scale formation in jackets and piping. We clean the jackets during the scheduled preventive maintenance done every six month. Now should we go for cleaning of piping also??
