What is compressor
Gas compressor is a mech. Device that
increases pressure of gas by reducing its
volume
Compressor are similar to pump that
increases the pressure of fluid and both
can transferred the fluid through pipe.
Asgases are compressible the compressor
also reduces the volume of gas.
Two Basic Compressor Types
Type of
compressor
Positive
Dynamic
displacement
Reciprocating
Positive displacement comp.
Rotary
Principal element of reciprocating comp. are
1) Cylinder, Head , Piston, Inlet and outlet valves.
3)Lubricating system
Reciprocating comp. are uses automatic spring
loaded valves which open only when the proper
DP exists across valve.
Reciprocating compressors are also
available in variety of types:
14L62A : FROM
14P35 A : 14V61A
14L62B : 14V61B

Function of 19K3 compressor
What are the things you should ensure before stopping 19K3?
Ans:- Before stopping compressor ensure that clearance pocket &
bypass v/v is open i.e. comp is unloaded.
Discharge pressure is coming down but suction pressure is
constant. What is the reason and what is your action?
--:Tube leak is suspected in interstage cooler, Start stand by
compressor & stopped running compressor to attend job if leak is
confirmed.
28.What is the function of 19K3 compressor & its Operating press. Temp
Ans:- The uncondensed syn gas collected in 14V61 is taken to self lubricated
reciprocating compressor 19K3 & disch. Tower 12T2.It is also useful in
transferring deuterium from one plant to other by taking 14P35 of D2 rich
plant is taken in line & comp. disch diverted to D2 lean plant .
TYPE : SYNCHRONOUS
CRANK-CASE : SS 220
9.Why small amount of leakage gas from 20K4 is collected and recompressed to feed
back to the system.?
Ans:-Because loss of D2 rich gas is not affordable.
system.
What are the oils used for 20K4 compressor?
Ans;- Cylinder lubrication – Servo system 320
Crank case – servo system 220
Motor bearing – servo system 68
What is your action when you see the discharge pressure is going high in 20K4?
Ans :- The discharge pressure of 20K4 floats with the pressure of the HP loop. If HP loop
is rising then 20K4 pressure will increase. this may be happened due to closure of one
of the motorized v/v in the HP loop. Or restriction in discharge i/v of 20K4.
Action:- Unload compressor to avoid tripping of compressor on high discharge pressure.
What is function of pulsation dampener at suction and disch. Of 20K4?
Ans:- As 20K4 is reciprocating compressor the pulsation dampener are provided to avoid
the pulsation in flow and therby giving constant flow. It also reduces the vibration in the
Write the detail start up of 20K4?
