Compression ratios up to
4:1 can be achieved in a single stage, producing 3 barG from atmospheric suction.
Machines are often packaged in two stages to achieve pressures up to 7 barG,
or are used as boosters. Depending on the duty, packages are either air or
water cooled, using either site water or an integral closed circuit cooling
system. Wet and dirty gases can be handled and a range of coatings can also
be applied to deal with corrosion. Flow rates up to 850m3/hr are obtainable
with single machines, but these can be assembled in parallel to obtain higher
flow rates if necessary.
