High-speed reciprocating compressors for natural gas applications A workhorse in field gas applications, the M Series can also provide up to 6,000 PSIG for CNG vehicle refueling. The compact, packager-friendly design features a “through shaft” fan adapter that allows the cooler to be driven by the pump end of the compressor, shortening overall skid size and simplifying the piping design. The M Series compressors are designed to run continuously for extended periods of time while unattended. This high-speed unit forgives non-reversals through its unique wrist-pin needle bearing design. GE’s comprehensive line up of double-acting and stepped cylinders offer maximum staging flexibility. Performance features Type Horizontally opposed balanced, one or two throws, with double acting and/or stepped cylinder sets to provide up to four stages of compression. Frame Heavy-wall, one piece alloy iron casting with reinforcing ribs. Removable alloy iron crosshead guides are surrounded by large cooling passages and include an oil level dip stick. Crankshaft Forged steel design has integral counterweights and force lubricated tri-metal sleeve type main bearings. Cylinders A wide range of gas cooled cylinder options is available. Cylinder arrangements include double acting, tandem, and stepped piston designs. Non-lube designs are available for special applications. Cylinders are available with MAWP up to 6,000 PSIG. Compressor valves Steel valve seats and guards are standard. Valve springs, lifts, and plates can be tailored to meet your performance conditions. Piston/piston rods Hard anodized aluminum alloy or cast iron pistons. Weight is precisely controlled during manufacturing to eliminate the need to match parts in the field. Carbon-filled Teflon piston rings are standard. Stainless steel 1.125 diameter tubular piston rods contain through bolt construction. Full floating vented sealing and wiper packing. Connecting rods Forged steel with precision insert type bearings on crank end and roller bearings on pin end. Crossheads Single piece aluminum crossheads contain cast iron inserts and Grade 8622 steel crosshead pins. Compressor lubrication Gear type lube oil pump is driven directly by a compressor shaft. Lubrication system includes a non-bypassing spin-on lube oil filter and has a six gallon lube oil sump capacity. Packing and cylinder lubrication Integral single pump force feed lubricator contains a block distribution system, a cycle indicator, and a No-flow shut-down switch. Stainless steel tubing includes plated fittings piped to the cylinders and packing. Lubrication feed rate is fully adjustable. Pump includes a hand priming pump and a rupture relief disk. Standard testing One hour mechanical run tests, hydrostatic tests of all cylinders, and post test inspections are conducted to GE standards. Standard accessories The following are included: digital parts list, digital maintenance/ operating manuals, general arrangement drawings, lifting eyes, and special tools (spanner wrench for piston and rod insert tool). Optional items Variable volume clearance pockets, CSA or XP No-flow switches and vibration switches, export boxing, immersion oil heaters, flywheels, drive couplings, oil coolers, and fan drives.
