Compressor Testing
About the Client
Our Client, compressor manufacturer needs to have their products tested after manufacturing and obtain corresponding Quality certificates.
Summary
Client requires a test facility which can be operated with different openings or capacities. Each opening was provided with defined flow meters, torque meters, suction & discharge pressure gauges, and vibration & sound sensors to test their compressor.
The Challenge
The client, who is a compressor manufacturer needs to have their products tested after manufacturing and obtain corresponding Quality certificate.
Client requires a test facility which can be operated with different openings or capacities. Each opening was provided with defined flow meters, torque meters, suction & discharge pressure gauges, and vibration & sound sensors to test their compressor. The main objective of the test facility was.
- Provide the instrumentation for large numbers of channels
- Develop the control system to test DUT under different
environment conditions - Design automated ATE software to carry out required test
for generation of calibration test certificates as per
international standards. - Design an acoustic chambers to attenuate noise level
during testing of rotary machines.
Our Solution
With the help of real time hardware, modular instruments and powerful ATE software, pump test facility system was design to provide the calibration certificate to clients end user. Real time control system was developed to acquire measurement data and to regulate field devices as per the system requirements. The system was designed to automate the entire testing facility for deterministic control with real-time data logging using real time hardware. FPGA based interlocking system to sense the safety interlocks status and generate the output. A CCTV system is installed for online viewing of test bed and the selection of appropriate sensors in the software.
GUI of Host Application software is designed to provide user with the features that will improve the control and ease of operation of the Compressor test facility. The software should allow the user to run the application in Auto/Manual mode, configure limits, set- points and acquisition parameters, control the subsystems by monitoring the process parameters and alarms, Check the runtime status and operating parameters of the various signals and subsystems continuously, monitor the character/behavior of the various analog channels on a graph, Conduct the experiments in an easy and safe automated manner, and do post experiment analysis. It has the facility to bypassing the specific data acquisition channels if they are not physically available.
The Compressor Test facility software generates the performance report and the sample calculation reports at the end of testing for the end user to see the exact calculations. The software compares the performance report with different compressor standards for accepted rejection criteria.
Benefits & Features
- Fully Automated Testing
- Reduce Human Errors
- Enhance Accuracy
- Highly Reliable
- Modular system for future upgradation
Benefits Against Alternatives
Compressor test facility was design is to eliminate maintenance, human errors and operation cost compare to manual testing process.
Our Value Addition
Optimized Solutions has provided an intuitive solution for a Compressor Test Facility System. Our long history of developing high-performance real-time control and data acquisition systems, and in-depth knowledge of real-time hardware make the test facility system reliable, flexible and saves the operation cost of testing.
