Working principle of anti-surge device in air compressor

Working principle of anti-surge device in air compressor
Nov 09, 2021
Author: DEAR AST

Surge is a common fault of air compressor, so air compressor is equipped with anti surge device.

When the output pressure of the air compressor is fixed and the flow rate is reduced to a certain value, the surge will occur, which is mainly manifested as the pressure fluctuation and obvious vibration. The surge  inevitably affects the working condition of the air separation unit and the service life of the air compressor. In order to prevent the occurrence of surge, it is necessary to control the flow of the air compressor not to enter the surge area, so the function of the anti surge system  automatically opens the vent valve or the bypass valve returning to the inlet to increase the flow of the air compressor when the flow of the air compressor is reduced to a certain safety limit.

The molecular sieve used in oxygen generators is the zeolite molecular sieve. It is a crystalline silica and aluminate polyhydric compound. Molecular sieves have a uniform pore size and their main function is to sieve molecules. There are three main types of molecular sieves: A, X and Y. The 13X molecular sieve is the only adsorbent currently used in liquid air separation plants. Any molecules that can be adsorbed on 3A, 4A and 5A molecular sieves can be adsorbed by 13X molecular sieves. It is c...

Pressure test before valve installation 1. In the warranty period, those with the certification and the sealing surface is intact can no longer conduct the strength test alone, but only the air tightness test can be taken before installation. 2. Within the warranty period, it has the certificate, and its sealing surface has defects such as corrosion and damage. After treatment, it must carry out the air tightness test. 3. Outside the warranty period, those with certification and intact sealing surface shall be subject to air tightness test before installation. 4. For valves that need to be degreased and disassembled on site, air tightness test shall be conducted separately before installation. 5. The safety valve shall be sent to the local quality inspection department of the project for verification before the end of installation and commissioning.
