IHI offers the Process Gas Compressor best suited for each customer.

HOME ⁄ Product ⁄ Process Gas Compressor ⁄ Reciprocating Compressor

Since IHI developed the first reciprocating compressor in 1892, IHI has been designing and fabricating compressors for various industries for over 120 years and delivered more than 1,600 compressors. IHI will provide optimum process compressors with reliance and responsibility.

Feature

Reciprocating compressor has advantages below compare to other compressor type.

1. Simple structure
2. Flexibility in wide range of application
3. Applicable for any composition of gases because of positive displacement type
4. Possible to discharge high pressure at a comparatively low mass flow rates
5. Easy and instantaneously capacity control
6. High efficiency at part or full load operation

Features of IHI compressors

1. Selectable type of lubrication from Non-lubricated / Semi (Mini)-lubricated / Lubricated.
2. Possess many experiences especially in cryogenic service and non-lubricated service.
3. Comply with API standard 618 Reciprocating Compressors for Petroleum, Chemical, and Gas Industry Services and various regulations and acts of designated delivery country.
4. Easy maintenance and low vibration because of horizontal type.
5. Low pulsation in process line based on acoustic suppression techniques.
6. Low noise with application of nonmetallic suction / discharge valve plate.
7. Long service life of wearing parts such as suction / discharge valve, piston ring, rider ring, piston rod packing
