OIL-FREE TECHNOLOGY: SAFE FOR YOUR PROCESS Oil in your process can lead to severe consequences such as spoiled or unsafe products, production downtime, and legal issues. In the gas compression sector, gas integrity is of the utmost importance. Atlas Copco technology guarantees oil-free production: • Long- or double-distance pieces (depending on the process) equipped with oil sealing rings ensure physical separation between the crankcase and the cylinders. • The length of the piston rod is calculated so that no part in contact with oil enters the compression chamber. • Packings with sealing...

a Reliability due to superior design • Heavy duty crankcase with forced feed lubrication for good lubrication allowing more load. • Precise lubrication points on each bearing, extending bearing life time. • Replaceable precision-bored sleeve bearings on the complete range for increased reliability and easy maintenance. • Double bearing on crankshaft at flywheel side avoids crankshaft deformation & damage from over-tensioning of V-belts or heavy flywheel, increasing drive train reliability. • Crankshaft made in ductile cast-iron (higher ranges: forged steel) to take more load, increasing...

Adapted to gas composition • Components (valves, piston rod packings, cylinders) are specially selected according to gas composition and humidity content. • Specially adapted materials such as stainless steel pressure vessels and piping in case of wet gas for a reduced risk of corrosion. Horizontal design for reduced maintenance • Less vibrations for longer component life. • Reduced forces and torques to minimize foundation requirement. • Reduced specific load on piston wear bands for longer life. • Easy access to all parts and easily removable crosshead guide. • Skid mounted, plug & play...

SAVE ENERGY WITH SMART CAPACITY CONTROL HX/HN piston compressors are extremely energy-efficient. Adapting the capacity to the gas or air requirements ensures that the process is as flexible and efficient as possible. Different types of capacity control are possible: • Stepped control – Double-acting cylinders allow the flow to be adjusted by clamping one or several suction valves in the open position. Stepped capacity control of 0-100% or 0-50-100% is possible. • Bypass – The use of a pressure control valve gives an extremely stable pressure. • Variable Speed Drive - In single stage...
