Abstract
A compression system is a simple arrangement of equipment designed to produce clean, dry compressed gas or air for industrial applications. These equipment types are used to transfer or compress light hydrocarbon gases, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, chlorine and a variety of specialty gases. The compression of gases and vapors forms an important operation in chemical and petrochemical plants, as it is necessary to be able to specify the proper equipment type by its characteristic performance. This chapter considers compressor selection for a range of applications, and discusses the main compressor types, including reciprocating, centrifugal, axial, and liquid ring compressors. Fans are also covered in this chapter, including a discussion of the main types, their operational characteristics and performance.
