Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
The starting point to select, install, operate or control specific Machinery is to learn and understand about its principles and technology. I am an Electronics Engineer, but I have been working for the last 16 years as an Instrumentation, Automation and Process Safety and Control Engineer for the Oil and Gas Industries. As a result I have been involved with Chemical and Mechanical Engineering issues related with both Reciprocating and Centrifugal Compressors in a day to day basic. This handy reference has proven most useful and time saving when in need of information or a shortcut to solve problems. This "quick-reference" guide offers you authoritative information on the operating characteristics, efficiencies, design features, reliability, and maintenance of Reciprocating Compressors. Absolutely a must have if you work with Reciprocating Compressors.
Outstanding Book on Reciprocating Compressors!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I am a rotating equipment specialist, and consider this a very thorough book on all aspects of reciprocating compressors, from the general design, installation, and maintenance point of view. What sets this book apart from others is that the author is a reliability specialist, and many of the hidden details that can lead to failures are pointed out. In addition, the book is extremely well illustrated with large clear pictures and drawings.
