In this article, we will discuss the four major types of Reciprocating Compressor distance pieces based on API 618. What is distance Piece? The distance piece provides separation between the reciprocating compressor cylinder and the compressor frame. Distance pieces can be either a single- or double-compartment arrangement, the selection is based on the property of compressed … [Read more...]
