1. Operating Valves Alignment
According to Compressors Piping Layout, where should all operating valves on main suction and discharge piping be lined?
Explanation: According to Compressors Piping Layout, all operating valves on main suction and discharge piping should be lined on one side as far as possible.
2. Design Consideration for Forces and Moments in Compressors Piping
How should piping be designed in relation to forces and moments imposed on a compressor?
Explanation: Piping shall be designed so that forces and moments imposed on the compressor do not exceed the manufacturer’s recommendation.
3. Low Points in Discharge Line
Why should low points in the discharge line from an air compressor be avoided?
Explanation: Low points in the discharge line from an air compressor should be avoided to prevent lube oil from being trapped and subsequently ignited.
4. Reciprocating Compressor Piping Support
How should piping be supported in the case of reciprocating compressors to avoid vibrations?
Explanation: In the case of reciprocating compressors, piping should be suitably supported to avoid vibrations. It should run at 500mm above grade level, and analog study shall be carried out for complete compressor piping.
5. Reciprocating Compressor Independent Supports
How should reciprocating compressor piping be supported in relation to grade and compressor platform structure?
Explanation: Reciprocating compressor piping shall be provided independent supports from grade and shall not be supported from the compressor platform structure.
6. Forces on Cylinder Flanges
What limits should be considered for moments and forces imposed on the cylinder flanges of a reciprocating compressor?
Explanation: Moments and forces imposed on the cylinder flanges of a reciprocating compressor shall not exceed the limits recommended by the compressor vendor.
7. Piping Elevation for Reciprocating Compressor
At what elevation should piping run for reciprocating compressors to minimize vibrations?
Explanation: Reciprocating compressor piping shall run at 500mm above grade level to provide proper supports and minimize vibrations.
