Reciprocating compressors are subjected to a lot more cyclic stress than ordinary rotating machines. As a result, they need different sensors to properly understand their condition. Here we will discuss Frame velomitors, Crosshead accelerometers, Rod Position probes, Cylinder Pressure sensors as well as Multi-event Keyphasors.
