high discharge temperature

[ahmadelozairi1]

Why the high discharge(80c) temperature trip an export compressor in a gas plant?, as the gas will be exported and will not be processed any more
Thanks

Protect pipeline coating? Pipeline design temperature? 80C though seems a little high if coating protection was the reason. I'm assuming this is a centrifugal as 80C is low for a recip style machine.

Do you not have any any documentation on the reasoning where trips are set?

Yes it's a centrifugal compressor, there is documentation for trips reasons but the hi discharge temp. wasn't mentioned.
thanks for your help

If your plant is offshore, it could be because of temp limitation on the flex-joint.
