Burckhardt API-618 200/30

Burckhardt Burckhardt API-618 200/30 is identified in the source list as a cargo compressor. It is installed in the cargo machinery area and connected to the vessel's cargo vapor or handling system. Its purpose is to compress cargo vapor for transfer, pressure control or other approved cargo-system duties. The source record provides the existing record note '30 bar'. Cargo compatibility, sealing, cooling and capacity control are model-specific and critical to safe operation. The exact model designation and any pressure or capacity information contained in the source distinguish size and service from neighboring compressors; refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figures.

Common failures & inspection points

●Valve or compression-element wear caused by contamination, inadequate lubrication or long service, resulting in reduced capacity and abnormal temperatures
●Seal or packing leakage caused by wear, thermal distortion or damaged sealing components, resulting in air or gas leakage and reduced performance
●Cooling-system fouling or loss caused by scale, blocked passages or pump faults, resulting in elevated discharge or bearing temperatures
●Lubrication or bearing failure where applicable caused by low oil supply, contamination or misalignment, resulting in vibration, temperature rise or trips
●Capacity-control, unloading or non-return valve malfunction caused by sticking, actuator or control faults, resulting in unstable operation, difficult starting or abnormal cycling

Service & Maintenance

Monitor suction and discharge conditions, temperatures, vibration and capacity-control behavior in accordance with the vessel procedures. Inspect coolers, valves, filters, drains, bearings and lubrication system where applicable. Check for air, gas, oil and cooling-water leakage and investigate recurring trips rather than repeatedly restarting the machine. Function-test unloading, capacity-control and protective devices using approved procedures. Keep system cleanliness and material compatibility under control. Refer to manufacturer and class documentation for exact clearances, alarm limits and overhaul criteria.
