PERFORMANCE CHANGE (RE-RATE)
Re-rates are changing the performance of the equipment.
Majority of re-rates keep the same dimensions.
Increasing-Pressure
Re-rates (also known as Performance Change or Change Performance) are changing the performance of the equipment. Majority of re-rates keep the same dimensions.
80% are not sized properly. [80% of what are not sized properly?]
Re-rates are changing the performance of the equipment. Majority of re-rates keep the same dimensions.
Common reasons units are re-rated:
• Increase or Decrease Flow
• Increase pressure rise
• Increase turndown capability
• Increase energy efficiency
Geared Turbo are re-rated:
• Change Gear Set
• Cut Down Impeller
• Add VFD and Controls
Multistage Turbo are re-rated:
• Change Impeller Mix
• Add or Delete Stages
• Change Control to VFD
