Combined rod load
Monitoring Rod Load Rod Reversal
Affected by:
Change in speed (F

)
Change in compression ratio
Capacity control
Monitoring Rod Load Rod Reversal
Monitoring Rod Load Standards
API 618
Compressive and tensile peak load difference 3%
Minimum rod reversal 15%
Max. rod load < less than 80% of design load
Process Classes
Recips can operate under variable conditions:
Input process conditions
Capacity control (step-less, clearance volume, unloaders,
variable speed, recycle/bypass, etc.)
Gas composition (for theoretical PV or discharge temperature
calculations)
Under such conditions it is difficult to diagnose gradual
changes in PV shape, identify trends of a developing fault
or monitor to alarm limits. To facilitate this B&K Vibro
offers:
Machine states
Gas composition classes

Diagnostics Summary: Array vs. Scalar Value
Diagnostic plots
Specialist needed to look at
plots at intervals
No monitoring
Diagnostic monitoring
Array converted to scalar data
Easier to diagnose
Easier to trend
Monitored to process classes
Specialist needed only when
alarm occurs
Summary
Condition monitoring strategy important for recips
Specialized monitoring techniques give early detection of faults,
greater lead-time to maintenance, more reliability
Automatic monitoring and diagnostics of PV, rod load, rod
reversal, etc. (array parameters)
