DYNAMIC THRUST BALANCING FOR CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSORS

Systems and methods for dynamically balancing axial loads in centrifugal compressors to reduce residual axial loads on the bearings used therein are described. A sensor or probe detects a parameter associated with the axial load acting on the bearing. Based on the detected parameter, the pressure in...

Zusammenfassung:Systems and methods for dynamically balancing axial loads in centrifugal compressors to reduce residual axial loads on the bearings used therein are described. A sensor or probe detects a parameter associated with the axial load acting on the bearing. Based on the detected parameter, the pressure in a balance chamber is controlled to adjust the compensating axial force generated by a balance drum.
