Operation and maintenance of Fermilab`s 300 kW helium screw compressors after two-million hours of operation
Abstract
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory uses 34 identical compressor systems connected to a common header to supply high pressure gas to the 24 satellite refrigerators of the Tevatron. These compressor packages consist of a two-stage oil injected Mycom helium screw compressor with associated oil removal system. This report summarizes (after 2,000,000 hours of operation) the problems, modifications and experiences associated with the operation of these compressor systems.
