Liquid slugging is the phenomenon of liquid entering the cylinder of a reciprocating compressor, a common cause of failure. [1] Under normal conditions, the intake and output of a compressor cylinder is entirely vapor or gas, when a liquid accumulates at the suction port liquid slugging can occur. As more of the practically incompressible ...
Compressor characteristic is a mathematical curve that shows the behaviour of a fluid going through a dynamic compressor. It shows changes in fluid pressure , temperature , entropy , flow rate etc.) with the compressor operating at different speeds.
Comparison of normal and distorted airflow into the compressor section [1] A compressor stall is a local disruption of the airflow in the compressor of a gas turbine or turbocharger. A stall that results in the complete disruption of the airflow through the compressor is referred to as a compressor surge. The severity of the phenomenon ranges ...
Natural gas compressor at a gas well High pressure reciprocating compressor from Belliss and Morcom, used in the bottling industry. A compressor is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume. An air compressor is a specific type of gas compressor.
Distinct Puerto Rican words like "jevo,", "jurutungo" and "perreo" have been submitted to Spain's Royal Academy- considered the global arbiter of the Spanish language.
Compressor surge is a form of aerodynamic instability in axial compressors or centrifugal compressors.The term describes violent air flow oscillating in the axial direction of a compressor, which indicates the axial component of fluid velocity varies periodically and may even become negative.

Air line failure is a failure of the tubing which connects the air bags or struts to the rest of the air system, and is typically DOT-approved nylon air brake line. This usually occurs when the air lines, which must be routed to the air bags through the chassis of the vehicle, rub against a sharp edge of a chassis member or a moving suspension ...
