  • We Interrupt This Blog Post to Bring You This Important Blog Post

    Bruce Greenwald
    I've been back in Texas since October, getting acclimated to all things uniquely Texan, like great BBQ and killer margaritas. I’m also working on my Texas-speak (y’all). While I’m back in the live music capital of the world, I’m still not sure I’m ready to go out two-stepping, but I knew it was time to start blogging again. I was in the middle of putting together by my first blog post in over 4 months (the topic was…

  • Monitoring Turbine and Compressor Operation

    Terry Blevins
    In January I posted a series of four (4) blogs that addressed the implement of an on-line compressor efficiency calculation. The example for this series was a compressor for a refrigeration system that used R134a refrigerant. If you have a similar compressor application in your plant then the information provided in these blogs may act … Continue reading » Read the full text.

  • Centrifugal Compressor Efficiency – Part 4

    Terry Blevins
    Part 1 of the centrifugal compressor efficiency series addressed the measurements and parameters that must be calculated to determine compressor efficiency. In Part 2-3 of this series we examined one way of calculating the enthalpy and entropy of the gas stream at the compressor suction and discharge and isentropic enthalpy for the refrigerant R134a. Once … Continue reading » Read the full text.

    Gregory K McMillan
    In the ISA Automation Week Mentor Program, I am providing guidance for extremely talented individuals from Argentina, Brazil, Malaysia, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, and the USA. We will be sharing a question and the answers each week. If you would like to provide...

  • Compressor Surge and Stall Detection and Prevention

    Gregory K McMillan
    A compressor going into stall is like jumping off a cliff with a bungee cord. If the bungee cord has no losses to dampen the oscillation, we have something akin to surge. A 0.5% drop in efficiency can occur for each surge cycle. Several surge cycles can occur due to delays and lags in high … Continue reading » Read the full text.

  • Centrifugal Compressor Efficiency – Part 3

    Terry Blevins
    Part 1 of the centrifugal compressor efficiency series addressed the measurements and parameters that are used to calculate compressor efficiency. In Part 2 of this series we examine how these measurements are used to calculate the enthalpy of the gas stream at the compressor suction and discharged for the refrigerant R134a. This calculation utilized bilinear … Continue reading » Read the full text.
