OSTI ID:98707
One of the more difficult challenges facing compressor and control engineers is designing compressor control and anti-surge packages that maximize efficiency while maintaining safe compressor operating conditions. This paper focuses specifically on centrifugal compressor anti-surge philosophies. The conditions that precipitate surge in centrifugal compressors will be explored along with risk reduction techniques. Axial and reciprocating compressors have slightly different characteristics and are topics for another discussion.
