Product catalog summary
Overview
Ingersoll Rand offers a range of centrifugal compressors, including the MSG® and MSG® TURBO-AIR® series, known for their oil-free air technology. These compressors are designed for various industrial and process gas applications, providing high reliability and efficiency.
History of Innovation
The company has a rich history of innovation, starting with the establishment of a facility in Buffalo, N.Y. in 1955. Key milestones include the introduction of the first small integrally geared centrifugal compressor in 1960, the first microprocessor-controlled compressor in 1980, and the acquisition of Cameron’s Centrifugal Compression division in 2015.
Product Specifications
MSG compressors offer flows from 70 to 3800 m3/min and discharge pressures up to 100 barg. MSG TURBO-AIR compressors are packaged for easy installation with flows from 14 to 430 m3/min and discharge pressures up to 42 barg.
Advantages of Centrifugal Compressors
These compressors provide several advantages over traditional designs, including low maintenance, oil-free operation, high reliability, no pulsation, optimum control, compact installation footprint, and no vibration.
