Centrifugal flash gas compressors are mechanisms that convert the kinetic energy of gas into pressure energy, playing a crucial role in compressing and transporting associated gases in the oil and gas industry. These compressors operate on the principle of centrifugal force and are widely used in key industrial sectors. They are considered essential equipment for compressing and transporting gases in fields such as the oil and gas industry, chemical production, power generation, and cooling systems. Capable of handling high flow rates and large volumes, centrifugal compressors use impellers to increase the gas velocity, while the diffuser converts this velocity into pressure. As a result, gas compression occurs within the compressor, ensuring the continuous operation of industrial processes. Although centrifugal compressors offer high performance and durability, they can fail under certain conditions due to various reasons. Failures and breakdowns can lead to serious production issues, significant financial losses, and even safety risks. Let’s now examine the causes of these compressor failures.
