The Reciprocating Compressor Modeling software for performance analysis and optimization. Commercial licensing available.
Users define compressor geometry (frame, cylinder, stage, throw, valving, etc.), operating ranges, gas compositions, and unloading devices. eRCM Pro™ then calculates and displays performance outputs, including power, flow, pressure, and temperature.
While performance is critical, safety is paramount. eRCM Pro™ models unit safety according to the O.E.M.’s specifications. Because calculation methods and safety limits vary by manufacturer, each unit must be modeled to meet its specific O.E.M. requirements.
eRCM Pro™ also supports hardware decisions. As operating pressures evolve, users can quickly simulate modifications—such as adding a fixed-volume clearance pocket—to determine whether the change provides sufficient unloading under new conditions.
No performance program is complete without predictive refinement. eRCM Pro™ incorporates analyzer data to tune predictions, accounting for pulsation, pressure drops, effective clearances, valve and parasitic losses, friction, and more, improving accuracy under real-world conditions.
- One file for all units at station
- Create generic or O.E.M.-specific models
- Create single service or multiple service models
- Uses advanced thermodynamics (ProSim™)
- Loads older eRCM™ models
- Loads exports
- Globally compatible (numbers, text, etc.)
- Supports a wide array of units of measure
- Professional reports
- Dynamic point performance and curves
- Creates P-V plots, force plots, torque effort plots, etc.
- Supports side streams in and out, including gas mixing
- Easy creation of lead step sequences
- Creates a wide array of tables and 3D plots
- Support for a variety of load control devices: fixed and variable clearance pockets, end deactivators, timed-valve closing devices, gas stepless devices, and even variable-stroke devices
- Files can be used throughout the company, from edge/PLC/monitoring (MMS Sentinel, Monico eRCM Express) to gas control (DNV’s Synergi Gas) to big data analytics (process innovation plugins), and more.
- And still, eRCM Pro generates the fastest performance and graphs in the industry!
