Abstract
The method of managing time M, at which maintenance of a gas compressor multiple system incorporating therein a plurality of gas compressors should be carried out, involves making a comparison between a value of M and a predetermined time N for necessary maintenance to carry out the maintenance when the value of M is larger than or substantially equal to a value of N, where M is equal to the product of the operating time T of the system, the average load factor L, and a safety factor C.
Claims5
A method of managing time, at which maintenance in a gas compressor multiple system should be carried out, the method comprising using the formula (i) to find an operating time M for management of time:
- M=T×L×C (i)
- where T is the operating time of a gas compressor multiple system, L is the average load factor of a plurality of gas compressors, and C is the safety factor,
- at which maintenance of the gas compressor multiple system incorporating therein a plurality of gas compressors should be carried out, and making a comparison between a value of M and a predetermined time N for necessary maintenance to carry out the maintenance when the value of M is larger than or substantially equal to a value of N, the average load factor L of the plurality of gas compressors being calculated by the formula (ii):
- L=S/[P×T] (ii)
- where S is the total operating time of a plurality of gas compressors incorporated in a gas compressor multiple system, P is the number of gas compressors incorporated in a gas compressor multiple system, and T is the operating time of a gas compressor multiple system.
