KILGORE COMPRESSOR PROGRAMS for Windows

The Kilgore Compressor Programs were developed by C. B. Kilgore, P. E., Houston, Texas, over some twenty years in concert with reciprocating and centrifugal compressor manufacturers, compressor system packagers, design engineers, control system designers, and on-site experience. These programs have given dependable results over a wide range of applications.

The QMC Reciprocating Compressor Program for Windows is designed for selecting appropriate driver, compressor frame and cylinders (double acting, single acting, tandem pairs, and blank throws) and evaluating performance for various unloading configurations at multiple operating conditions. Computes gas properties. Flags values for temperature, pressure, speed, horsepower, volumetric efficiency, valve pressure drop, rod load, cross-head pin reversal, etc., when limits exceeded. Engine, frame and cylinder databases may be created. Engine horsepower automatically derated for site elevation, ambient temperature, speed and auxiliaries. Accommodates up to a maximum of 10 throws, 4 services, 5 stages in a single service, and a maximum of 6 stages for all services.

The QMC Centrifugal Compressor Program for Windows generates a mathematical model of the compressor from input of the manufacturer's compressor data. This provides the basis for the compressor calculations. The program calculates compressor performance at specific conditions and simulates the complete compressor system over a wide range of operations, including, but not limited to, start-up, normal operation at steady and varying load conditions, including anti-surge, normal and emergency shutdowns, and safety valve relieving conditions. A single compressor train with 1 or 2 services with a maximum of 6 stages (compressor sections) total can be simulated.
