Sir,

     I had a question :
      when we operate Reciprocating compressors we are either operating at a

certain fixed motor RPM. This allows for the rated capacity of Compressor. But if the demand flow rate is required in less quantity i.e. under part-load conditions it doesn't change the RPM accordingly so as to adjust to the desired flow rate. Hence it actually consumes the same power under low-load conditions as the peak-load conditions.

So, can we apply some VFD's for such systems which can adjust accordigly as the desired flow rate so that automatically RPM's vary and power consumed is comparatively less under part-load conditions.
