Abstract

Air compressor found in many industrial applications and is a crucial machine in gas transmission in pipelines, petrochemical plants, refineries, etc. After a period of life unexpected failures of internal components due to miscellaneous reasons occur, which affects the operating system performance. For better performance of Air compressor a good maintenance strategy required. This paper presents a case study on air compressor used in heavy Industry and associated problems, diagnosis and effective solutions supported by appropriate maintenance strategies for overhauling and repairing arising out due to frequent failure of parts and improving life of compressor. It is predominantly essential to establish the recommended clearances given for the various parts of the compressor. Based on dimensional measurement of compressor parts selection of repair and replacement becomes easy and it is best for economical point of view.
