pretty good book for the stated purpose. I also have Bloch's other book "Reciprocating Compressors." They make a good set for the student or instructor.

    • A Concise Book On Compressors
I just finished reading Heinz Bloch and Fred Geitner's new book "Compressors, How to Achieve High Reliability & Availability", and consider it a must read book for technical folks. Even if you have a wealth of books and papers on compressors, this extremely practical book places all the critical items within the 257 pages. This is a book I wish I had at the start of my career, as it would have eliminated the need to learn many lessons the hard way. An excellent book for those wishing to learn about compressors as well as the seasoned veteran who requires a review on the most common types of compressors and their components. ... show more
