Purpose
The compressor is designed to compress contact gas in the production of ethylene oxide and is intended to replace the compressors that have exhausted their life time.
The unit components:
- centrifugal compressor and a step-up gear mounted on a common frame.
Design features
The compressor represents a one-cylinder two-staged modular centrifugal compressor machine.
The compressor is provided with the systems of automatic governing and protection, as well as with the control and monitoring facilities.
The compressor is driven by an electric motor. The electric motor is connected with the compressor through a step-up gear by means of toothed couplings.
