VSC SCREW COMPRESSOR VIBRATION ANALYSIS CASE STUDY
Screw air compressor failure analysis
The analysis of the cause of the failure and the solution are as follows: (1) Whether the condensed water discharged from the trap has a large oil content, if so, check the leakage point in the unit and eliminate it, check whether the oil level of the compressor is too high, if so, reduce the oil level; (2 ) Whether the opening pressure of the minimum pressure valve is normal, if so, troubleshoot, and it is necessary to replace the valve; check whether the oil return pipe is blocked, if so, clean or replace the oil return pipe: (3) Replace the oil separator core.

Screw air compressor working condition analysis
This study focuses on the condition monitoring of a screw compressor in instrument air service. Condition monitoring through vibration analysis and oil analysis are heavily relied upon in industry to determine maintenance requirements. [pdf]FAQS about Screw air compressor working condition analysis
Does a screw compressor need condition monitoring?
This study focuses on the condition monitoring of a screw compressor in instrument air service. Condition monitoring through vibration analysis and oil analysis are heavily relied upon in industry to determine maintenance requirements.
What is a screw compressor?
Screw compressors are positive displacement compressors that utilize a pair of helical lobed rotors in a casing. The screw compressor has no valves;therefore, the location of the suction and discharge ports determines the compressor cycle. This study focuses on the condition monitoring of a screw compressor in instrument air service.
Can condition monitoring technology provide early screw compressor malfunction warnings?
Findings –The study considers utilizing condition monitoring technology to provide early screw compressor malfunction warnings. The results of the study indicate that both vibration analysis and oil analysis provide early warning of pending mechanical failures. Oil analysis was found to be more effectiveat providing advance notice.
How can vibration analysis and oil analysis help a screw compressor?
Design/methodology/approach – The research analyzes the ability of vibration analysis and oil analysis on a screw compressor in an oil and gas plant. The vibration data and oil data were collected from commissioning thru failure. The data is presented to demonstrate each technology’s ability to provide advance warning of the failure.
Why is screw compressor used in refrigeration & air conditioning industry?
ABSTRACT The screw compressor is widely used in refrigeration and air conditioning industry due to it high efficiency. The screw compressor are said to have an efficiency of about 75% to 80%. The one percent of efficiency of the screw compressor is lost due to some of the losses which restrict it from being 100% efficient.
How efficient is a screw compressor?
The screw compressor are said to have an efficiency of about 75% to 80%. The one percent of efficiency of the screw compressor is lost due to some of the losses which restrict it from being 100% efficient. The project aim is to analyze that 20% to 25% losses which cause due to vibration and heat losses.
