Fault Detection of Reciprocating Compressor Valve Based on One-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Network

Abstract EN

Reciprocating compressors are important equipment in oil and gas industries which closely relate with the healthy development of the enterprise.

It is essential to detect the valve fault because valve failures account for 60% in total failures.

For this field, an artificial neural network (ANN) is widely used, but a complex network is not suitable for its low accuracy and easy overfitting.

This paper proposes a fault diagnosis model of a reciprocating compressor valve based on a one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1DCNN).

This method takes the differential pressure and differential temperature of each compressor stage as the input of 1DCNN, using the characteristics of the CNN to extract the features and finally using Softmax to classify the fault.

In order to verify this method, it is compared with LM-BP, RBF, and BP neural networks.

The results show that the fault recognition rate of 1DCNN reaches 100%, which proves the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method.
