← TechnologyWhich effect occurs when differential pressure exceeds reciprocating compressor's piston rod limit?
A)Rod buckling and potential fracture✓
B)Thermal runaway in shaft bearings
C)Increased volumetric efficiency overall
D)Localized catalyst oxidation effects
💡 Explanation
Piston rod failure occurs because exceeding the differential pressure leads to excessive compressive force, this induces column instability which causes rod buckling and potential fracture, therefore, resulting in mechanical failure, rather than the intended uniform compression.
