Fracture Failure Analysis of connecting Bolt Between Indirect Cylinder and Crankcase in Reciprocating Compressor
In response to the problem of bolt breakage between the intermediate connecting cylinder and crankcase of a new hydrogen reciprocating compressor in a petrochemical company's reforming unit in 2023,the possible causes of the fracture were analyzed based on its appearance,bolt material,and bolt stress.Solutions were proposed from the aspects of process operation,equipment installation requirements,and bolt tightening methods to ensure the safe,stable,and optimal operation of the device..
