Fault Analysis and Improvement of the Lubricant Supply System of Natural Gas Booster Unit
To deal with the abnormal function of oil level controller for the engine lubricant supply system of a gas booster station,based on the working principle of oil level controller,starting from analyzing the design of equalizing pipe for the oil level controller,and lubricant preheating circulation pipeline,a systematic study was conducted on the oil level control function failure of the lubricating oil supply system,and targeted improvement measures have been proposed.The lubricant preheating circulation pipeline with the lubricant supply pipeline was separated to avoid preheater return oil pressurized level controller.Meanwhile,the size of the equalizing line for the oil level controller was increased to 1/2 inch to avoid the differential pressure between the oil level controller and the crankcase that cannot be fully balanced due to the small size of the balance pipe.After the rectification,the oil level controller returned to normal,the engine will no longer experience low lubricating oil level shutdown faults.The practice has reference significance for the optimization and improvement of similar lubricant supply system in natural gas booster unit.
