Numerical Study of the Crosswind Effect on Booster Compressor Cooler Fan Performance for the Wellhead Platform
View through CrossRef
Abstract
The wellhead booster compressor (BC) is a crucial machinery component utilized for pressure recovery in production. In Greater Bongkot North field (GBN), the wellhead BC package phases 5 and 6 have smaller cooler fans than other phases. It makes them frequently to be tripped by engine jacket water (EJW) temperature high during strong wind due to crosswind interference occurs. Consequently, this impedes the BC fan cooler from operating at its full capacity, resulting in inadequate heat transfer of the engine. This study analyzed the influence of crosswind on the performance of BC cooler fans with an optimal design wind barrier type by using numerical modeling or computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The simulation results showed that the crosswind has a negative effect on BC cooler fan performance. At all crosswind speeds, the results showed that the wind barrier 30° deflector type is the optimal barrier design to improve BC cooler fan performance on the wellhead platform from the effect of the crosswind.
