Natural Gas Air Compressor
A natural gas air compressor increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume. The natural gas enters the cylinder through the intake valves, where it is compressed and forced out through discharge valves. A gas air compressor is one form of natural gas air compressor that is used in a wide range of industrial applications where either high pressure or lower volumes of gas are required.
Examples include:
Petroleum refineries, natural gas processing plants and chemical plants: Used for the compression of intermediate and end-product gases
Industrial manufacturing and building: Provides compressed air that powers various pneumatic tools and equipment
Pipelines: Transporting natural gas from the production site to the end user
Types of Gas Air Compressors
A gas air compressor can be a reciprocating or rotary screw model:
Reciprocating: A reciprocating gas air compressor uses crankshaft-driven pistons to provide compression. The thrust is provided by a positive displacement pump that moves the gas through the system and enhances the gas pressure and density. Benefits of reciprocating gas compressors include their ability to produce high power and high pressure compressed gas, as well as the absence of an oil carryover problem. Reciprocating compressors also generally require a lower initial investment than other compressor types.
Rotary screw: A rotary gas air compressor also operates via positive displacement. It contains a pair of helical screws that drive the gas into a chamber. The screws simultaneously shrink the chamber, which forces the compression. Rotary screw compressors are known for their compact yet robust design and construction, as well as their reliability. However, rotary screw compressors are not suited for a dirty operating environment, and the rotary compressor’s life expectancy is typically shorter than that of a reciprocating model.
As an experienced and innovative gas air compressor manufacturer and supplier, our company is your best choice for reliable, high-performing reciprocating and rotary gas air compressor models. Our reciprocating gas compressor product line is designed and engineered exclusively for natural gas applications. Nine models are available, including single-stage and two-stage versions that provide cost-effective gas compression, fast and easy maintenance and heavy-duty cast iron construction.
Keep your reciprocating natural gas air compressor running smoothly with proper oil and maintenance.
