When planning a new screw compressor room, should we choose a large compressor or several small machines?The following questions need to be considered first:
1. What costs will be incurred if the production stops due to the shutdown of compressor?
2. Will you consider increasing gas equipment in the next few years?
3. How about the gas circulation within 24 hours?Is there any difference in gas usage between shifts?
4. How much space is available for compressor installation?
5. How much electricity can the power supply equipment supply without intolerable voltage loss?
For the consideration of economy and ensuring gas supply, several compressors can supply gas.In many cases, it is enough to divide the required volume flow in two. Once a compressor is shut down unexpectedly, another 50% flow is available for urgent use to supply gas to the most important production department.If continuous production is critical, consider three compressors each supplying 50% of the gas, so that there is always one machine to spare and routine maintenance can be carried out without causing production losses.
