In screw compressors gaps between rotors and casing have to be small, in the range of 30 to 300 μm. These gaps are influenced by thermal expansion when the screw compressor is in operation. The amount of thermal expansion is about the same size as the gaps, even in oil-injected screw compressors. Especially when starting a cold compressor, there ar...

ABSTRACT The Dieng Geothermal Field, Indonesia, is a two-phase high enthalpy reservoir with a current installed capacity of 60 M W. Some liquid-dominated wells near the reservoir boundary are non-artesian, primarily due to a water column above the main feed zones. This paper elaborates on discharge stimulation carried out for several production and...
