JAtech services performs specialized analysis to measure the mechanical condition and performance of reciprocating compressors and cylinders.

The analyst measures:

• Pressures – head and crank ends of cylinders (if equipped with indicator valves)
• Pressures – suction and discharge nozzles (if equipped with indicator valves)
• Vibration – main crank bearings, cylinder heads, crossheads, valves
• Ultrasonic – cylinders and valves
• Temperatures – suction, discharge, valves

To analyze:

• Performance – horsepower, ring losses, valve losses, volumetric efficiencies
• Component condition – frame, bearings, rings, piston rods, connecting rods, crosshead, valves, unloaders, etc.
