Frequently Asked Questions
What is a gas compressor and what is it used for?
A gas compressor is a machine used to increase the pressure of gases for transportation, storage, processing, and industrial applications. Gas compressors are commonly used for CNG, natural gas, hydrogen, CO₂, nitrogen, methane, helium, argon, petrochemical processing, gas treatment, and power generation.
What types of gas compressors are available?
Gas compressors are available in several technologies, including piston (reciprocating) gas compressors, centrifugal gas compressors, and oil-free gas screw compressors. The appropriate type depends on the gas, required pressure, flow rate, purity, and specific process application.
What gases can be compressed using gas compressors?
Gas compressors can be configured to handle a wide range of industrial gases, including CNG, natural gas, hydrogen, CO₂, CO, nitrogen, methane, argon, helium, and air. The compressor configuration should be selected according to the gas properties, pressure, flow, and purity requirements.
What pressure and flow capacity can gas compressors handle?
Gas compressor capacity depends on the compressor technology and model. Depending on the application, available solutions can handle pressures ranging from low-pressure process applications to pressures of up to 480 bar (6,962 psi), with flow capacities reaching up to 500,000 m³/h for high-flow centrifugal applications.
How do I choose the right gas compressor for my application?
