PRESSURE_CONTROL

Description​

The PRESSURE_CONTROL dictates how the compressor will be controlled when running on a fixed speed. The available methods for pressure control are as follows:

  • DOWNSTREAM_CHOKE (default)
  • UPSTREAM_CHOKE
  • INDIVIDUAL_ASV_PRESSURE
  • INDIVIDUAL_ASV_RATE
  • COMMON_ASV

PRESSURE_CONTROL is in use for the following types of compressor trains:

Further description on how each pressure control method works can be found in Fixed speed pressure control
