Compressor's Application
The shaft serves as the main element of the rotor, transmitting the
torque from the driver to the impellers. The largest diameter is located
in the middle of the shaft and supports the impellers and spacer
pieces.
Impeller
Impeller adds energy to the inlet gas
Impeller Types
Open Impellers
These are used for large heads and small to large flow in single
stage
compressors only. The flow is least controlled.
Semi-enclosed Impellers
These are used for large flow, usually in single stage compressors,
or as
the first stage in multistage compressors.
Enclosed impellers
Multistage compressors usually have enclosed impellers. The flow
of gas is best controlled in enclosed impellers. To prevent
vibration the impeller is shrunk onto the shaft and prevented from
turning on the shaft by a key and is well balanced.

Labyrinth Seal
It is a set of metal rings or teeth that encircle the shaft but do not
touch it. The rings or teeth are made of soft metal, and are sharp so
that in case of accidental contact, less friction is generated and
shaft is prevented from damage.

Couplings
Couplings are the connecting elements between the compressor and its
prime mover or between compressor's different stages. Construction
a particular flexible Shim Pack Coupling, there are two hubs, one installed
to each shaft end, a spacer and the flexible elements located
between the spacer and hubs. Previously 'Keyed Hubs' were designed but
now hubs are mostly hydraulically shrink fitted on the tapered shaft end.

Stability Range
The Volume flow inlet variation that occurs
between the operating point and surge limit line
at constant speed
Pressure Raise to Surge
The variation of discharge pressure between
the operating point and the surge limit line at
constant speed
36
The surge flow has been defined by some as the flow at which the
head flow curve is perfectly flat and below which the head actually
decrease.

Stall
This usually happens in a low flow stage as it approaches the
surge.
Stall is caused by the destabilization of the impeller or diffuser flow
or by unsteady interaction between the impeller and diffuser

Limit
The yellow Limit LED is lit when either the discharge
pressure is above its threshold or suction pressure is
Below its limit.
This will increase the recycle rate above the level needed for
Surge protection.
The DISPLAY LIMIT key can be used to display the value
and set point of each limiting variable.
53
Tracking
When redundant controllers have installed, the green
TRACKING LED of active controller will be off and that

Fault
The red Fault LED is lit when an internal fault has been
detected.
The controller out put signal is totally unpredictable when

Raise Key
The RAISE key increases the actuator control signal if the
Controller is on manual.
Momentarily pressing the Raise key increases the signal
By 0.1%, while holding it down increases the output steadily
In larger increments.
It takes about 20 sec to change control signal by a full 100%
59
Lower Key
The LOWER key increases the actuator control signal if
the
Controller is on manual.
Momentarily pressing the Lower key decreasesthe signal
By 0.1%, while holding it down decreases the output steadily
In larger increments.
It takes about 20 sec to change control signal by a full 100%

RESET SAFETY ON
Each time a surge is detected, the controller increases the
surge marginby adding Safety On incremental Bias. Pressing
Reset Safety On key resets it to zero and restores the
Original Safety on Margin.

DISPLAY LIMIT
If the DISPLAY LIMIT key is held down, the DEV and ALT
Read outs will display the value and set point for one of the
Limiting variables, while AUX read out displays Discharge
Or Suction to indicate which of those pressure is being
displayed.
Pressing this key does not affect the operation of control
algorithm
64
MENU / SCROLL
The MENU and SCROLL keys select the information
displayed by AUX read out. Pressing Menu advances that
Display thru the available menus, while pressing scroll
advances it to the next item in the currently selected Menu.

ALT
The 3- character Alternate read out is normally Blank.
However it displays number of surges the Safety On
algorithm has detected whenever Display Surge Count
Key is held down.
This read out can also display the numerator of application

OUT
The 3- digit Output read out normally displays the actuator
control signal which shows both the actual output signal and
control valve position.
