Analyzing Compressor Failures
|
|
|
From "Compressors: How to Achieve High Reliability and Availability":
When doing failure analysis and troubleshooting, all findings and conclusions must be supported by data and must conform to science. Because the failure of compressor components is not influenced by the supernatural, there will be logical explanations for everything. Every effect has a cause, and in nearly 100 percent of all failure incidents, a series of small contributing causes successively reduced the component failure margin. Ultimately several — in themselves small — deviations will combine into one big problem.
