Compressor & Pump CurvesPad Workshop In this module, compressor and pump curves will be used to model the behaviour of simulated compressors and pumps. Using curves to model these unit operations allows HYSYS to accurately simulate actual plant equipment. Learning Objectives Once you have completed this module, you will be able to: + Specify and attach head and efficiency curves to compressors + Use single and multiple curves to model compressors + Attach head curves to pumps + Accurately model existing plant equipment with HYSYS Prerequisites Before beginning this module, you need to know how to: + Define and import a fluid package + Add streams and unit operations to the PFDCompressor Curves Using compressor curves in your HYSYS simulation allows you to accurately model existing plant equipment. You can determine if an existing compressor is able to meet the specifications of your process. Using compressor curves allows HYSYS to calculate heads and efficiencies that are dependant on the flow rate. If the flow rate through the compressor is known to be constant, a single flow rate and efficiency can be supplied. If, however, the flow rate is expected to change, using a compressor curve will allow HYSYS to calculate new heads and efficiencies based on the current flow rate. This results in greater accuracy in the simulation, and allows HYSYS to more closely model actual plant equipment. Defining the Fluid Package Before we begin any simulation in HYSYS, we must first define the appropriate fluid package. Start a New Case and add a Fluid Package Select the Fluid Package tab. Select the Add button, Select the Sour PR EOS package. Select the Components tab, Add a components list. Add the following components: HO, H,S, COz, C1, C2, C3, i-C4, and n-C4,
