Expert guide to diagnosing and repairing high air compressor discharge temperatures The same formula used for isentropic discharge temperature calculation can be applied but by replacing the isentropic coefficient by the polytropic coefficient. Elevated discharge temperatures can lead to a variety of issues that can affect both the compressor and the entire system it serves.
Compressor suction and discharge temperatures of the prototype
The exact temperature limit is dependent on factors such as the gas compressed, compressor materials, allowable temperature of the seal oil, and the type of seals
Summary a high temperature can be indicative of a bearing failure, electric motor overload, a reciprocating compressor valve failure, internal leakage problem, gas turbine firing issue,.
Regular inspections and preventive measures will.
