PROJECT STATEMENT Dresser-Rand will be donating a single stage ESH reciprocating compressor for RIT use. The project objective is to safely install the compressor for educational and research activities. The focus of the project is on creating the installation plan, educational experiences, and instrumentation/data acquisition strategies.
