Wärtsilä Screw Compressor SC-500 LPG

Wärtsilä Wärtsilä Screw Compressor SC-500 LPG is identified in the source list as a cargo compressor (screw). It is normally installed or arranged in the gas-carrier cargo machinery or deck area. Its purpose is to compress, reliquefy, heat, vaporize or monitor liquefied-gas cargo. The source record provides the stated medium LPG. The equipment is based on cargo-compatible process equipment, containment, sensors and safety interfaces. The exact model designation distinguishes the installed configuration from neighboring variants in the same category; refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.

Common failures & inspection points

●Seal, gasket or process-connection leakage caused by wear, thermal cycling, corrosion or cargo incompatibility, resulting in cargo or vapor leakage
●Valve, actuator, pump or drive failure caused by sticking, wear, electrical or hydraulic faults, resulting in incorrect routing or reduced cargo-handling capacity
●Sensor or measuring-element fouling or drift caused by cargo deposits, contamination or calibration error, resulting in implausible readings or alarms
●Process fouling, icing or blockage caused by cargo residue, temperature conditions or debris, resulting in restricted flow or unstable operation
●Control, shutdown or hazardous-area electrical fault caused by wiring, electronics or configuration problems, resulting in unavailable remote operation or protective trips

Service & Maintenance

Inspect process connections, seals, valves, actuators, pumps, sensors, piping and supports applicable to the listed cargo equipment. Maintain material compatibility with the actual cargo and clean deposits before they restrict movement or measurement. Trend pressure, temperature, level, flow or operating response against established normal conditions. Function-test remote controls, alarms, shutdowns and emergency stops before cargo operations. Inspect hazardous-area electrical and bonding arrangements for integrity. Refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure for cargo compatibility, calibration, operating limits and wear criteria.
