Air That Holds Up in the Heat
Glass plants run air for forming, cooling, and conveying at high temperature; ceramic kilns rely on it for combustion control and pneumatic transport. Both environments are hard on distribution components and on compressor capacity.
Derating done right
Elevated ambient temperatures derate compressor capacity in ways a nameplate ignores. I work from measured conditions, including a structured approach to altitude and temperature.
Fights the particulate
Particulate fouling air-cooled aftercoolers drags efficiency down. The survey finds it and the baseline prices it.
Thermal cycling and leaks
Thermal cycling cracks fittings and increases leak rates. A full ultrasonic survey tags the loss in CFM and dollars.
300 to 2,500 HP with high ambient-temperature exposure
- Elevated ambient temperatures derating compressor capacity
- Particulate contamination fouling air-cooled aftercoolers
- Thermal cycling cracking fittings and increasing leak rates
- No structured approach to derating calculations at altitude and temperature
