Fault diagnosis and prediction in reciprocating air compressors by quantifying operating parameters

This research introduces a new method of diagnosing the internal condition of a reciprocating air compressor. Using only measured load torques and shaft dynamics, pressures, temperatures, flow rates, leakages, and heat transfer conditions are quantified to within 5%. The load torque acting on the r...
