Centrifugal compressor package (API 617)

Gas compressor train on a common skid with walkways: barrel or horizontally split casing with dry gas seals, bearing housings and probes, suction / discharge nozzles up or down (down nozzles drop through deck openings), an anti-surge valve on a reducing tee off the discharge, a temporary suction strainer with dP gauge, dry gas seal panel and API 614 overhead rundown tank. Driver is a large induction motor (CACA cooler) with a speed-increasing gearbox and API 614 lube console, or a two-shaft gas turbine in its own acoustic enclosure with filter house, exhaust stack and fuel gas skid. Casing, motor and turbine size from mw.

Installation

$npx -y https://decktwin.com/cli/deck-twin-0.2.2.tgz add centrifugal-compressor

Copies rotating/centrifugal-compressor.tsx and the shared lib/ into src/components/deck-twin/. Needs three, @react-three/fiber and @react-three/drei. See installation for the manual route.

Usage

import { Canvas } from '@react-three/fiber'
import { OrbitControls } from '@react-three/drei'
import { Stage } from './components/deck-twin/lib/stage'
import { CentrifugalCompressor } from './components/deck-twin/rotating/centrifugal-compressor'

export default function Scene() {
  return (
    <Canvas shadows camera={{ position: [8, 5, 9], fov: 35 }}>
      <Stage>
        <CentrifugalCompressor />
      </Stage>
      <OrbitControls makeDefault />
    </Canvas>
  )
}

P&ID

P&ID symbol for centrifugal-compressor

Trapezoid (wide end = suction, narrow end = discharge) with the driver on the shaft: a circle with M for a motor, or a gas turbine drawn as a second, reversed trapezoid. Anti-surge recycle and a recycle valve usually loop from discharge back to suction.

tag Ktag CISO 10628-2 / PIP PIC001

Trapezoid = dynamic compressor. A trapezoid narrowing the other way, coupled to a generator or compressor, is a turbine (or an expander). A rectangle with a piston is a reciprocating compressor; two meshing rotors mean a screw compressor.

Machine-readable entry with props, ranges, defaults and ports:

$npx -y https://decktwin.com/cli/deck-twin-0.2.2.tgz info centrifugal-compressor

Or fetch /r/centrifugal-compressor.json, or copy a ready-made instruction:

Add the Deck Twin "Centrifugal compressor package (API 617)" component to this project. Run `npx -y https://decktwin.com/cli/deck-twin-0.2.2.tgz add centrifugal-compressor` (it copies the file and the shared lib into src/components/deck-twin/), then `npx -y https://decktwin.com/cli/deck-twin-0.2.2.tgz info centrifugal-compressor` for its props, ranges and ports. Render <CentrifugalCompressor /> inside a React Three Fiber <Canvas shadows>, wrapped in <Stage> from src/components/deck-twin/lib/stage. Set props from my data (metres, NPS in inches, ASME class) and leave the rest at defaults. Install three, @react-three/fiber, @react-three/drei and @types/three if they're missing.
