Low-duty Compressor |
 |
The
Low-duty Compressor consists of a single stage compressor with a heavy-duty
wheel in forged aluminium alloy with adjustable inlet guide vanes,
mounted to a heavy-duty speed-increasing gearbox.
Together with the complete lube oil and seal gas system the compressor is installed on a rigid single skid for shipboard application, with bulkhead and bulkhead seal mounted to the gearbox.
An intrinsically safe local control panel with gauge board is installed on the skid, and a remote control cabinet is supplied loose for installation in the safe area.
To cover the wide temperature range of natural boil-off gas (-140 °C) and forced gas (-40 °C), the low-duty compressor is normally driven by a variable speed motor, which is typically yard scope. |
