Technical Consulting

RM Support recognizes that in today’s economy, many projects have been financially analyzed on the basis of under-estimated investment costs, questionably predicted power consumption, and almost impossible availability and reliability calculations. In some cases it can lead to unexpected problems. RM Support experts are specialized to reduce operational costs by providing information and modification proposals. Problem areas are indicated and the action plan is drafted.

We have the experience to reduce the risk of failure and assure that your ROI will be maximized. Take a look at our expert’s advice articles, visit our "about us" page, and don’t hesitate to contact us and request the Technical Advice.
 

Examples of our consulting cases:

  1.    Corona effect

    consult 7Temperally dry running due to degassing of the oil.  Check the temperatures of discharge side in combination with the used refrigerant and oil.                              

       Extreme damage

    consult 9This can be handled with Coldores seal.                                                                                                                                                                                             

     

  2.    Slide valve contacted the rotors

    consult 5

    The oil below the silde valve  has created a gas lift, which forced the slide valve to wards the rotors. Check the temperatures of discharge side in combination with the used refrigerant and oil.                                                                                       

                                                                           

       Seal damage

    consult 6

    Damage on the shaft seal due to dry running so called blistering. More indication of similar effects by the shaft seal area:  black oil residue, deformed elastomers and extreme wear on the running surfaces.                                                                         

                                                                                                

  3.    Bearing damage

    consult 3

    Difference wear on the big end bearings at the similar conditions. Eliminate the degassing process by re-adjusting conditions: check the   temperature, ambient effects and the oil- and refrigerant characteristics

                                                             

       Rotor damage

    consult 4

    Rotor damage by entry of liquid at the suction side: control the overheating of the sucton gass.                                                                                                                                                                              

     

  4. Suction filter side of a screw compressor with solid oil

    consult 1

    A chemical reaction has taken place. Check the combination of oil, working conditions in combination with the refrigerant.                                                                                                                                                                                       

                 

       Melted con rod

    consult 2The con rod was melted due to accumulating of heat during degassing of oil. Eliminate the degassing process by re-adjusting conditions:  check the temperature, ambient effects and the oil- and refrigerant characteristics.
