Compressors cylinder liners

Machined deposits on new equipment, including undercoats for chromium, are usually 125-500 im thick. Applications include cylinder liners (on the water side), cylinders used in the rubber, pulp and paper handling industries, compressor rods and armatures for electric motors. 

Typically, in specifying a unit, the suction and discharge pressures, capacity (MMsefd), inlet temperature, and gas properties are given. The actual sizing of the cylinders is left to the manufacturer from his specific combinations of standard cylinders, pistons, and liners. However, once a proposal is received from a manufacturer, sometimes it is beneficial to check the cylinder sizing and make sure that indeed the compressor will perform. Sometimes it is necessary to size a new cylinder for an existing compressor or to verify that an existing compressor will perform in a different service.
