Foundation health and compressor reliability
Large reciprocating compressors interact with their foundations in critical ways, and many mechanisms that decrease compressor reliability result from foundation and mounting problems. A multi-year research effort has explored the interactions between the compressor and its foundation, leading to important insights and guidelines for maintaining reliability. This paper reviews and summarizes the research and its results. It addresses analysis of compressor loads and shaking forces, foundation design and concrete cracking, anchor bolt practice, behavior of chocks and epoxy grouts, effects of oil on foundations and chocks, bearing alignment issues, cylinder alignment issues, and crankshaft health issues.
