Powered by eRCM™ Modeling Software

• Empowers UCP with dynamic speed and pressure safety limits
• Predicts safe performance across unit’s full operating map
• Calculates full rod loads and pin reversals per throw
• Simple — just connect the power and Ethernet cables
• Provides OEM-compatible modeling
• Improves capacity and reduces costs
• Models single and multi-stage units

Remove operating map constraints from your reciprocating compressor. Allow it to achieve its full performance.

eRCM Express™ is an industrial computer that powers proven eRCM™ reciprocating compressor modeling technology, conveniently packaged in the robust and field-proven Monico mCore SDR hardware platform.

eRCM Express™ can be DIN rail mounted, or mounted with angle brackets inside your existing Control Panel.

eRCM Express™ receives real-time unit operating point data inputs from the PLC. In response, it returns eRCM™ based compressor performance and safety advisor outputs that are critical to safely and efficiently controlling the compressor:

• Safety and availability of Next Step Up, Next Step Down, and Ideal Load Step, regardless of complexity of the load step matrix
  • Checks for safety issues for all Load Steps, not just current one
• Full set of Compressor Performance Predictions:
  • Base: Load, Flow, Fuel, etc.
  • Safety: Rod Loads, Pin Reversals, Crank Forces, etc.
  • Detail: Available data covers unit, all stages, all throws, and all cylinder ends
• Provides Safe Start Up Information for setting Load Step before Closing Bypass
• Provides dynamic ranges for safely adjusting Suction Pressure during operations
• Provides dynamic ranges for safely adjusting Speed during operations
• Provides data useful for Condition Monitoring:
  • Gas Slippage Rates per cylinder (to know when valves/rings are leaking too much)
  • Appropriate Interstage pressures (to know when a serious issue is affecting system)
