Identifying Heat Exchanger Problems By Modeling Compressors

GE Intelligent Platforms Can you diagnose exchanger performance without flow measurement? The data you need isn’t always there. In this example, the Proficy* SmartSignal team identified the first sign of difficulty in a heat exchanger from the FCC wet gas com- pressor results. The compressor problem was really a symptom of fouling in the main column overhead trim cooler. Technical staff know that machines and systems are interactive, but oth
