Reciprocating compressor monitoring
Reciprocating compressors: valves, bearings, cylinders — SDT, Artesis, Bently. KEG TRK.
Reciprocating compressors
Recips differ from screws: valve and crank impact spectra dominate. Broadband ISO vibration often lags — valve ultrasound and motor current give earlier warning.
Watch suction/discharge valves, crank/crosshead bearings, rings/cylinders, motor and coupling, lube/cooling. SDT for valves, Artesis for drive load, Bently/SCOUT for large frames.
See screw compressors and compressed air stations.
