Improving Gas Cooling Technology at its Compression in the Booster Compressor Station

Improving the efficiency of gas air-cooling units of compressor stations requires consideration of a whole complex of varying parameters and appropriate regulation when there is decline in reservoir pressure and gas production volume in the fields. It determines the need to use two or more stages of compression, replaceable flow parts of gas compressors, new assembly available on the air coolers station. On the other hand, for many years of operation it is necessary to determine the optimum number of devices included in the cooling process, the total number of fans or a share of their total working load. The analysis shows the possibility of reducing energy consumption for fan drives which can reach 20-30%.
