These are some real good questions to ask the manufacturer that sold you the equipment. They know the detail workings of their equipment and can give you knowledge of how it operates under different conditions, part load, etc. Alex Dornn

  Subject: [PipingDesign] Queries on compressor
  

Sir,
I had a query on compressor.
Suppose I have a reciprocating compressor which I have been observing
that it's consuming much less power than it's rated. Hence it is running
under part load condition. But it's known that a reciprocating compressor
consumes greater power than what it should have consumed under that
loading.
It is also known that under part load condition some of the cylinders are
automatically shut off so as to consume less power. My question is how
can I establish this that during the entire run of a compressor for a
week's time ...

1. It had run ___ hrs under full load condition( all cylinders in
   operation)
   
2. Under part load condition __ hrs ( some cylinders were not in
   operation)
   
3. Under part load conditions how much is the power consumption
   greater than compared to a partly loaded screw compressor.
   

Is there any particular way I can really know that within a certain
duration exactly N nos. of the cylinders were not in operation?
If I want to make a entire chart on the working pattern of compressors(
loading pattern)for a certain period how can I do that?
