Abstract

Industry systems which use compressors are a sensitive subject in terms of reliability because these products can induce instability due to their complexity and numerous architectural options. These systems bust be under continuous supervision in order to eliminate unwanted failures and improve the capacity of the system. This paper presents a reliability analysis of such a system using reliability block diagrams (RBD). The aim of the analysis is to provide conclusive information about its constituent components and to identify the critical issues. Keywords: compressor system, reliability, reliability block diagram, RBD modeling, MTBF, failure
