Abstract

The need of alternative instrumentation and analysis methods for improving reciprocating compressor monitoring has been motivating an intensive effort in research. The goal here is to find new resources providing increased reliability and availability to such type of equipment. We explore the possibility of developing digital multichannel systems allowing simultaneous measurement of different parameters such as vibration, pressure, position, etc. Synchronous measurement of such parameters is a fundamental resource for diagnosing defects on components of the gas compression end, in addition to providing significant subsides for identifying defects on compressor power end.
