Over recent years there have been substantial changes in those
industries which are concerned with the design, purchase and use of
special purpose (ie critical, high-revenue) rotating equipment. Key
personnel have been the victims of early retirement or have moved
to other industries: contractors and end-users have reduced their
technical staff and consequently have to learn complex material
'from scratch'. As a result, many companies are finding that they
are devoting unnecessary man hours to the discovery and explanation
of basic principles, and having to explain these to clients who
should already be aware of them. In addition, the lack of
understanding by contractors and users of equipment characteristics
and operating systems often results in a 'wrong fit' and a costly
reliability problem.
Forsthoffer's Rotating Equipment Handbooks: Compressors provides
detailed coverage of characteristics, types, operation in a process
system, (using the concept of required and produced gas head)
performance relationships, selection, what determines the turbo
compressor curve shape, surge/stall/stonewall, the effects of
fouling, the design basis of journal and thrust bearings, balance
drums, seals, critical speeds, control and protection guidelines,
series and parallel operation, component condition monitoring,
troubleshooting and many other aspects.
Forsthoffer's Rotating Equipment Handbook: Compressors is the third
title in the five volume set. The volumes are: 1. Fundamentals of
Rotaing Equipment; 2. Pumps; 3. Compressors; 4. Auxiliary Systems;
5. Reliability Optimization through Component Condition Monitoring
and Root Cause Analysis'.
* One of a five volume set which is the distillation of many years
of on-site training by a well-known US Engineer who also operates
in the Middle East.
* A Practical book written in a succinct style and well illustrated
throughout.
