Efficiency of the Conventional Fixed Displacement Compressor
Conventional, fixed displacement compressors produce a near constant flow of gas when operating at fixed inlet conditions, regardless of the discharge conditions. When process pressures are low, a relatively small percentage of available horsepower is utilized by the compressor. These compressors waste power and time.
Conventional Fixed Displacement Compressors use most of their power, even when discharge pressures are low. At low discharge pressures, the intensifier strokes faster displacing more gas.
As pressure increases, Conventional Fixed Displacement Compressors slow down to produce a higher pressure and corresponding maximum flow-rate. At the maximum discharge pressure, the Conventional Fixed Displacement Compressor displaces the same amount of gas as a High Pressure Gas Compressing Equipment.
Intensifier Design Features of the Conventional Fixed Displacement Compressor
Near-Isothermal Compression
The long, slow stroke of Conventional Fixed Displacement Compressors allows heat removal during the compression cycle. This near-isothermal compression cycle requires less power than the faster compression cycle of a diaphragm or crank-driven machine.
The near-isothermal compression cycle of Conventional Fixed Displacement Compressors consumes less energy and requiresless power to pressurize a given volume.
Patented Free-Piston Design of the Conventional Fixed Displacement Compressor
The patented free-piston design allows replacement of the high-pressure packing in minutes without major disassembly of the intensifier. These pistons are pressure energized allowing them to adjust automatically for wear. The pistons are non-lubricated unless specifically requested by the user.
Fail-Safe Freedom from Contamination
Conventional Fixed Displacement Compressors are non-lubricated eliminating lubrication contamination of the gas. In addition, a vented isolation chamber separates the gas cylinder from the hydraulic drive cylinder.
For applications requiring ultra-pure gas, optional full-length isolation spacers are available that do not allow entry of the oil-wetted portion of the plunger rod into the gas cylinder.
