DESIGN FEATURES:

• The opposed design of these compressors enables maintenance of a mutual balance between piston and inertial forces acting in the opposite rows, thus greatly increasing the operation speed and reducing the weight of the compressor and foundation.

• Due to the use of thin-walled liners in journal bearings, the plants require no adjustments at shaft installation and no re-adjustments or alignment during operation, while demonstrating extended bearing life.

• These plants are equipped with an automatic control system that controls its key parameters, alarms and locks, as well as with a staged automatic capacity control system.

• Reduced power consumption per unit of capacity in these plants is due to the improved motion mechanism, specific compressor gas dynamics and the use of globe valves.

Installation operations required have been minimized, while the use of special preservation procedures enables compressor start-up without depreservation, thus significantly reducing the compressor commissioning time.

The use of special equipment in the manufacture of such compressor units ensures high accuracy and interchangeability of parts.

Compressor plant automation systems allow minimizing the required operating personnel.
