Centrifugal and Axial Compressor Control Student Text and Instructor’s Guide
Author Gregory K. McMillan, Published 1983
Description: This text demonstrates how to select the proper control schemes and instrumentation for centrifugal and axial compressor throughput and surge control. More material is devoted to surge control because surge control is more difficult and the consequences of poor control are more severe.
This text is directed principally to the instrumentation and process control engineers who design or maintain compressor control systems. Process, mechanical, startup, and sales engineers can also benefit from the perspective gained on the unusual problem of compressor surge and the associated need for special instrumentation. The overall goal of this text is to instruct the reader on how to properly design and maintain compressor control loops.
