RCM for Screw Compressors

We facilitate the RCM analysis with your compressed air or gas system operations and maintenance personnel. Functions are defined with performance standards (delivery capacity at required pressure, oil-free air quality for oil-free units, containment of compressed gas). Failure modes are documented for each subsystem: air-end (rotor wear, bearing spalling, shaft seal leakage), oil system (separator element plugging and bypass, oil oxidation, cooler fouling), capacity control (slide valve wear, VSD power module failure, control logic faults), and protective devices (safety relief valve, high temperature shutdown, high pressure shutdown). The JA1011 decision logic is applied: specific energy monitoring and vibration analysis as on-condition tasks for air-end condition, oil analysis with particle counting for oil and bearing health, differential pressure monitoring for separator elements, and failure-finding tasks for relief valves and shutdown systems at intervals based on consequence severity. Tasks that cannot be justified through the logic tree are removed from the PM program. The living program includes review triggers when operating conditions change or new failure modes emerge.
