Benefits A parallel compressor installation refers to a individual compressor(s) can be switched off

mainly at low load operation.
The main reason is reduced operating cost
through greater control of capacity and power Third, working with parallel systems allows for
consumption. This is achieved by staggering standardisation of compressors. As an example,

a 10 Tons and a 15 Tons model mounted in
A second reason for manifolding is improved parallel, thus reducing the number of different
part load efficiency. In a parallel installation the compressors from 5 to 2.

Application Guidelines Oil management concepts

As mentioned before, one of the challenges of To ensure suitable oil distribution, different
manifolding is oil management. systems can be used.

Static systems This is one of the most simple, and cheapest ways This system is limited to three compressors

and low pressure shells are interconnected. A balancing.
small interconnecting pipe, on the lower part of
the compressor (below the oil level), ensures oil
balancing. The suction header design is critical,
as it ensures a pressure drop balancing and equal
distribution of oil returning from the system
when all compressors are running.

The success of such a system relies very much on

the sizing of the pipe work, small differences in
sump pressure can result in significant oil level
variations.

Oil equaliser
