Turbomachinery Package Specification Taurus 70 Compressor Set and Mechanical Drive
Successful operation of the anti-surge control system is dependent on correct valve
selection. The following anti-surge recycle valve is selected based on the application data
available at the time of this proposal. It may be necessary to select a different valve, or
possibly a combination of valves, once complete compressor system design information
is received. Any such change will have a commercial impact.
11.1.6 Compressor Vibration and Temperature Monitoring
X and Y proximity probes are mounted in the compressor driven and non-driven end
bearings. These probes are monitored continuously by the control system. Alarm and
shutdown levels are set to protect the compressor from excessive vibration levels. Axial
probes are also provided for position monitoring (except C505J).
Resistance temperature devices (RTDs) are mounted in the compressor bearing drains
(except for the C505J model) and thrust bearing. Alarm and shutdown levels are set to
protect the compressor bearings from excessive temperature levels.
