In my plants, we have Laby type two stage 4 cylinder vertical reciprocating compressor.
Currently facing the issue of the Oil carry over to the distance piece area above the scrapper ring. even after replacement of new oil scrapper ring still facing the issue of oil carry over to the distance piece area( between packing to guide bearing area).
I could not have clear reason for the oil carry over with new oil scrapper ring in just just couple of days. facing only in one of piston rod only other three oil scrapper ring is found ok. Oil is supplying through the orifice on piston rod just below the Guide bearing area through tubing.
I would like to know the following from expert group
1. what are the possible causes for the oil carry over at distance piece area.
2. if oil carry over the at distance piece is there any harm to packing ?
