Matthew Blieske, Auteur ; Rainer Kurz, Auteur ; Augusto Garcia-Hernandez, Auteur |Transient studies for compressor systems allow the prediction of the compressor system behavior during fast transients such as they occur during emergency shutdowns. For the system simulations, the compressor behavior is assumed to be quasi-stea[...]

Experimental evaluation of the transient behavior of a compressor station during emergency shutdowns
J. Jeffrey Moore, Auteur ; Rainer Kurz, Auteur ; Augusto Garcia-Hernandez, Auteur |The transient behavior of compressor stations, particularly under rapidly changing conditions, is of vital interest to operators. Predicting transient behavior is an important factor in avoiding damage during events such as emergency shutdowns. [...]
