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.

In the process of operation, especially in the start-up and shutdown of the air separation unit, one-way force should be avoided on the instrument. During the start-up of the equipment, close the high pressure and low pressure valves firstly, then open the balance valve, and then slowly open the high pressure (or low pressure) valve, so that the measured medium can enter the positive (negative) pressure chamber of the transmitter. If the liquid is to be measured, the gas in the positive (negative) pressure chamber should be discharged from the upper vent. If the gas is measured, drain the liquid accumulated in the positive (negative) pressure chamber from the lower drain screw hole. After discharging the gas (liquid), close the balance valve, and then open the valve on the other side. When the equipment is shut down, the high pressure (or low pressure) valve should be closed first, then the balance valve should be opened, and then the valve should be closed on the other side.
