Turboexpandergenerators A turboexpander expands process fluid from the inlet pressure to the discharge pressure in two steps: first through variable inlet guide vanes and then through the radial wheel. As the accelerated process fluid moves from the inlet guide vanes to the expander wheel, kinetic energy is converted into useful mechanical energy – extracting energy from the process fluid and cooling it down. The mechanical energy is available to drive other process equipment – in this case, a generator. Our turboexpander-generator designs respond to specific industry needs for increased...

Turboexpander-generators With design features to increase performance and reduce maintenance downtime in extreme natural gas applications Patented multi-link Inlet Guide Vanes (IGVs) for precise control and smooth adjustment. Dynamic dry gas seals can be applied in single, double or tandem configurations to minimize buffer gas leakage. High-efficiency aerodynamics customized to customer specifications. The expander wheels are mounted directly on the high-speed pinions, and the generator is coupled to the low-speed gear. Hydraulic, pneumatic or electric actuators control the IGVs and provide...
