Compressor [TC] Series
Overview
Description
Specifications
Gas Recovery
Fueling
Compressor loaded Expanders with high capacity bearings. The expander and compressor wheels are mounted on a common shaft. The energy from the expander wheel powers the compressor wheel – helping to recover as much energy as possible to maximize cold production and overall plant efficiency.
Features & Benefits
- Compact footprint
- “Zero leakage” inlet guide vanes
- Rugged rotor design
- Components individually balanced for ease of field replacement
- Tapered shaft wheel attachment for field interchangeability
- Labyrinth shaft seal design minimizes seal gas consumption and prevents process stream contamination
- Shaft-driven boost compressor reduces power consumption, increasing plant efficiency
Applications
- Air Separation
- Natural Gas
- Industrial Cooling
Process Fluids
- Air
