Traditional compressor monitoring has focused on velocity vibration and rod drop. Hardy provides two additional measurement techniques, Impact and Triangulated Rod Drop, that were developed especially ...

Istec presents its rod drop monitoring system for reciprocating compressors: The RecipSys 200. Istec presents its rod drop monitoring system for reciprocating compressors: The RecipSys 200. A compact ...

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 ...

We were talking to engineers supporting maintenance and operations around a fleet of reciprocating HC gas compressors. This particular company had experienced major compressor wrecks involving broken ...

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: The measurement of in-cylinder pressure during operation in reciprocating compressors is usually done in a destructive test in which a small bore is machined in the side of the cylinder.
