Technical aspects of a large size industrial process turbo compressor revamp
This paper describes several modernization aspects of the process 8 MW air compressor and its driver. The main aim of the revamp was to increase internal efficiencies of both the compressor and turbine and increase the load of the compressor without additional power consumption. The original pressur...

description |
This paper describes several modernization aspects
of the process 8 MW air compressor and its driver.
The main aim of the revamp was to increase internal efficiencies
of both the compressor and turbine and increase
the load of the compressor without additional power consumption.
The original pressure ratio was preserved. To
meet these requirements a redesign of the flow path of
both machineswas necessary.Moreover, the turbineworking
conditions were changed from extraction-condensing
to condensing. In terms of compressor, impeller blade redesign,
adaptation of diffusers and Abradable seals were
a part of the scope.
The revamp was completed in April 2014 with all the requirements
met. This paper covers the general outline and
a comparison of the original and modernized machine
operating parameters, design and technical assumptions
and also describes some problematic issues which occurred
during the realization of the project. |
