“Increasing compressor reliability is vital to improve production.”
There are several types of compressors: rotary, reciprocating, axial flow, centrifugal, screw, and more. Their purpose is to increase the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume. Manufacturing, refrigeration, and gas compression lines depend on compressor uptime, making reliability critical to the entire operation.
Compressors absorb large amounts of air along with contaminating particles. Compressors used in refrigeration also face viscosity reduction problems due to gas entrainment. Oil analysis reveals contamination and mechanical wear through particles found in the fluid, enabling predictive action before failures occur.
