Abstract

Centrifugal gas compressors are widely used in the oil and gas industry. Gas compressors produce sound emissions while operating and are often unenclosed requiring the need to know the sound emissions. Gas compressors create a variety of sound pressure levels across their large operating range. This paper compares sound pressure levels of a compressor operating across three different speed lines and two different pressures. The results show increasing sound levels coincide with increasing mechanical power. Also shown is an increase in sound level as the compressor approaches choke.
