EVACUATION COMPRESSOR SIZING

PROJECT : NEW PROPANE GAS COMPRESSOR

EVACUATION COMPRESSOR SIZING

The Main Propane Gas Compressor / Driver cannot be started with settle out pressure. For safe starting of compressor / driver casing, system pressure has to be brought down to 2 kg/cm2g with the following options: 1. Use of Evacuation Compressor 2. Blow off Propane gas from the system through flare. Evacuation Compressor (10-RC-001) a motor driven reciprocating compressor with adequate capacity is provided at downstream of Propane Gas Compressor 10-K-101A. The purpose of this compressor is to evacuate propane refrigerant from 10-K-101A system and to bring down the system settle out pressure to below 2 kg/cm 2g. Hence the main compressor / driver can be started safely and without affecting the electrical system. SETTLE OUT PRESSURE: In case of compressor shut down or trip the system pressure will reach to settled out pressure. Please refer Doc. No. 6972-010-50-02-CAL-0008 Rev. B for details of settle out pressure calculation. At this condition the parameters of the propane trapped in system will be as under: Pso Vso Mso Tso 6 kg/cm2 A 9.60 m3 111.08 kg 311.13 K

The Capacity of the Evacuation Compressor is 1200 kg/hr. Considering entire quantity the evacuation is required to be done up to 2 kg/cm 2g. Time required for the mass to be evacuated = (Mso / Capacity) * 60

= (111.08 / 1200) * 60 = 5.554 mins. Evacuation compressor is designed to evacuate the system up to 2.0 kg/cm 2g. Hence the residual propane needs to be flared in case of maintenance of compressor. OWNER PMC LSTK CONTRACTOR

EVACUATION COMPRESSOR SIZING

PROJECT : NEW PROPANE GAS COMPRESSOR

In case of worst condition of evacuation at 16 kg/cm 2 A and temperature 341.3 K, Total mass to be evacuated = (Msd / Vad) * Vso

= (45.67 / 1.5) * 9.60 = 292.288 kg Time required for the mass to be evacuated = (292.288 / 1200) * 60 = 14.6144 mins.

CONCLUSION To evacuate the propane gas, M/s. SAVAIR / IHI has selected a 2 cylinder double-acting ESH-series machine for the application (8 & 6.5 X 11 ESH-2 NL-2) having capacity of 1200 kg/hr at suction pressure 1.97 kg/cm2g and suction temperature of 46oC. Hence, the machine is sized adequately and can evacuate the Main Compressor under any settle-out condition within 3 / 15 minutes which is the defining criteria for sizing.
