Since the 1970s, many oil and gas plants have been built with a large fleet of reciprocating compressors installed. These types of compressors have not received the same high-priority monitoring given ...
Reciprocating compressors are used in many applications because they can compress air or gas in a wide range of pressure ratios and flowrates. They can offer excellent operational flexibilities for ...
Abstract: Reciprocating compressors produce large fluctuating torques. When a reciprocating compressor is driven by an electric motor, also the rotor of the latter is subjected to these oscillations.
