Our Range of Centrifugal Gas Compressors

Selecting the Best Compressor

Centrifugal gas compressors are crucial in many industries, aiding everything from natural gas movement to powering gas turbines. When picking the right compressor, consider these points to ensure it works well, lasts long, and saves you money: 

• Know Your Needs: Look at the flow rate, pressures, and temperatures your process requires
• Check Performance: Make sure the compressor can handle your operation's conditions
• Assess Efficiency: The compressor should save energy across all levels of use
• Material Matters: The build should match the type of gas, especially if it's a toxic gas, and withstand your process's demands
• Control Systems: Look at how the compressor is controlled and managed
• API Standards: In oil and gas, your compressor should meet API standards like 614, 617, 692, & 670
• Maintenance and Noise: Pick a compressor that's easy to maintain and meets noise regulations, with little vibration

Advantages of Centrifugal Gas Compressors

Oil-Free Process Gas: Ingersoll Rand compressors ensure that your processes remain uncontaminated by avoiding oil fouling. This feature is essential for maintaining the purity of your gas streams and eliminates additional costs associated with disposing of oil-tainted condensate and oil removal filters. 

High Reliability: The compressors' durability is bolstered by a conservative gear design, bearings with unlimited life, and the capability to absorb thrust loads at low speeds. The stainless steel compression elements and the system's resilience to surge conditions further enhance reliability. 

Low Operating Life Cycle Cost: These compressors are engineered to be cost-effective throughout their entire life cycle. They maintain high efficiency at full and partial loads, and the absence of sliding or rubbing parts in the compression process reduces maintenance costs and increases uptime. 

Easy Operation and Maintenance: State-of-the-art control systems offer automatic operation and self-diagnostic capabilities. With no wearing parts in the compression elements, operational simplicity is coupled with minimal maintenance requirements.

Simple Installation: The centrifugal gas compressors come with all necessary components, including a common base, to facilitate a quick and efficient installation process, minimizing floor space usage and offering great flexibility.

Pulsation-Free: The advanced design ensures a smooth and consistent gas flow, free from pulsations, which is essential for many precise applications.

Gas Compression Power

Ingersoll Rand's portfolio of centrifugal gas compressors includes a broad spectrum of custom-engineered and pre-engineered products. With capacities and flow ranges spanning from 4,200 to 230,000 m3/h (2,500 to 135,000 CFM), these compressors are capable of generating high pressures up to 100 bar (1,450 psi) and power up to 16,650 kW, catering to a wide array of needs.

Applications and Uses

Centrifugal compressors are key for providing compressed gas to big applications. They deliver a strong, high-quality flow of compressed air, perfect for tough jobs like: 

• Boosting fuel gas
• Gathering natural gas
• Refrigerating hydrocarbons
• Handling carbon monoxide and dioxide
• Working with SynGas and heat pumps
• Recompressing steam
• Managing landfill gas

Ingersoll Rand's compressors play a vital role in many sectors. They're used as boosters for natural gas, help manage large volumes of compressed gases, and are key in various industries, from energy production with gas turbines to handling toxic gases safely. They are also used to refill gas cylinders, ensuring that cylinders empty fully, and empty cylinders are filled back up efficiently to preserve the pressure of the gas.
