"Analysis that drives maximum efficiency and extends the lifespan of your compressor"
The Compressor Operation Analysis by CPC Engineering evaluates new or existing equipment under changes in operating point, revamping, or plant modifications. It is essential to ensure operational feasibility and energy efficiency.
Based on the study of performance curves and potential scenarios, we analyze the real behavior of the compressor and its compatibility with new conditions. The result is a technical report with actionable recommendations at the hardware and control levels.
This service is key for projects involving new equipment procurement, revamping, replacements, or service changes, helping to avoid oversizing and unnecessary energy consumption, or proposing installation and control strategy adjustments when necessary.
How we apply it
We define the scope of the analysis and gather the technical documentation of the compressor, driver, instrumentation, and valves. We study current operating points and compare them to the manufacturer’s data, identifying deviations.
With a steady-state mathematical model, we simulate new operating scenarios (variations in gas, pressure, flow, or configuration) and assess their impact, delivering a technical report with practical conclusions and applicable recommendations.
Key Features
- Analysis Scope Evaluation: Definition of the system battery limit to which the study will be restricted.
- Datasheet Collection: Compilation of datasheets for the compressor, driver/turbine, valves, and instrumentation.
- Operating Points Gathering: Collection of operating points under different scenarios to verify and/or correct the manufacturer’s curves.
- Associated Control Analysis: Evaluation of existing control strategies and operational modes.
- Model Construction: Creation of a steady-state mathematical model to evaluate the new operating point.
- New Scenario Analysis: Evaluation of equipment response in the new operating condition, whether due to internal modifications or a change in operating point.
- Results Report Generation: Issuance of a report covering all study steps, conclusions, and recommendations for implementing proposed improvements.
