Compressor Handbook

NOTE EDITORE

This book provides a practical introduction to dynamic and positive displacement compressors, including compressor performance, operation, and problem awareness. In reading this book readers will learn what is needed to select, operate, and troubleshoot compressors.Complete with real-lifecase histories,the book demonstrates investigative techniques foridentifying and isolatingvarious contributing causes, includingdesign deficiencies, manufacturing defects, adverse environmental conditions, operating errors, and intentional or unintentional changes of the machinery process that usually precedefailure.
