Centrifugal compressor Inspection
Hi Everybody!
So the problem is: we have a 3-stage centrifugal compressor unit for air(mounted in block box) with motor 800kW.
This is integrally geared compressor. Both motor and gearbox berings are sleeve.
Compressor was stored in heated and dry building for 10 (!) years (packaged) - Customer cancelled the project[IMG]https://www.engineersedge.com/engineering-forum/images/icons/confused.gif[/IMG]
Now we want to use it in another project.
So, could anyone suggest the inspection procedure for this machine? :roll
At first glance: visual inspection, try to rotate the rotor manually using barring device, try to connect 400 V and test oil pump, oil heater, blow-off valve. Check/replace oil and inlet air filters? Check/replace oil? What else?
Thanks in advance!!
Best regards,
Max
