  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING A COMPRESSOR
    Publication number: 20110247418
    Abstract: A system for monitoring compressor anomalies includes an acoustic energy detector connected to the compressor and a controller in communication with the acoustic energy detector. The acoustic energy detector transmits an acoustic energy signal reflective of acoustic energy produced by the compressor to the controller. At least one sensor connected to the compressor measures an operating parameter of the compressor and transmits a parameter signal reflective of the operating parameter to the controller, A method for monitoring compressor anomalies includes sensing acoustic energy produced by the compressor and transmitting an acoustic energy signal reflective of the acoustic energy to a controller. The method further includes sensing at least one operating parameter of the compressor, transmitting a parameter signal reflective of the operating parameter to the controller, and transmitting an output signal based on the acoustic energy signal and the operating parameter signal.
