| Abstract
|
:
|
This straightforward guide to compressors seeks to unveil a lot of myths surrounding compressors. In this book, we will be looking at most types of compressors, including the centrifugal compressors, the air compressors, and of course the most troublesome of all compressors, the reciprocating compressors. Having a compressor with minimal operating problems does not only depend on the selection of the right type and size for your job. Detailed specifications of all auxiliary equipment and operating conditions, as well as keeping constant vigilance over the engineering and installation is imperative. The Simple Guide will explain in a simple yet definitive manner which compressor type is best used for which job and what it can produce. Dr. Watterson is not a pure academic and often works at the "Coal Face" during plant shutdowns and turnarounds, and commissioning. His experience spans across many continents and varying industries. Compressors is one of the subjects he has trained with many refineries across the Middle East and Africa. He has also published "diagnostic skills" and aid to troubleshooting with compressors, pumps, and turbines.
