Tel: +39.055.8826302 · Fax: +39.055.8826303 · info@sintechnology.com · www.sintechnology.com Reciprocating compressors are often some of the most critical systems at a production facility. Industrial facilities can expect widely varying lifecycle costs and reliability from their own installations due to many factors like adequacy of maintenance practices and operational factors. Thanks to the SINT Technology experience in turbomachinery performance evaluation and automatic fault detection the RCX-Reciprocating Compressor Analyzer is now available. RCX is actually the only portable sy- stem for reciprocating compressors analysis ATEX approved. Analysis of cylinder pressure is one of the main ways of checking reciprocating compressor efficiency and of promptly detec- ting abnormal behaviour, such as: Multi-channel system for reciprocating compressors diagnostics in Hazardous Area (ATEX Approved) RCX- Reciprocating Compressor Analyzer Portable Multichannel (up to 16 chs) Hazardous Area approved (Ex nA e i IIC T3) Stand-alone recording Wireless connection to PC On-machine collecting data User friendly Software Ex ia sensors Up to 12 Dynamic pressure probes IEPE Accelerometers Velocimeters Tacho probe (i.e. optical, magnetic and inductive probe) The RCX System Due to the use of NI cRIO product it was possibile to design the RCX system to be used both as a stand alone recording sy- stem or a user driven system. In both cases a graphical user interface provides an intuitive and software driven configuration of the system itself. faulty valve behaviour suction and discharge pressure pulsations excessive valve pressure loss leaking packing and piston rings gas backflow to the suction and discharge valves
