Customer Reviews:
various types
By W Boudville - June 10, 2007Brown gives a good review of the different types of compressors currently available. The gist of each type is explained. Intermittent mode and continuous compression are the top level classifications. Each in turn having several subclasses.
The basic principles of any compressor are straightforward from a physics standpoint. There is a quick chapter on elementary thermodynamics, as germane to compressor operations.
But the bulk of the text takes us into each compressor type. With useful schematics illustrating the main modes of operation. Along with descriptions of instrumentation. Where here, electronics has vastly improved the sophistication of the monitoring and control devices. Giving an impressive amount of telemetry about vibration data. That can be used to improve performance and warn of mechanical failures.
Compressors: Selection and Sizing
By Mr. John F. Shanahan - May 12, 2007This is a good general overall reference book for compressors.
It could have been much better if the author had provided more of
his own development for various topics instead of using material
from other authors and then merely giving them credit (various
velocity diagrams).
In this day and age of 3-dimensional, multicolored graphic images,
I think that the author could have drastically improved his presentation
of the material.
