When the pressures and capacities of the application are beyond the capabilities of a vertical compressor, Corken’s horizontal compressor is the next option. These versatile compressors are available in single packed (HG600) and triple packed (THG600) design. Other options include single- or two-stage compression, lubricated or non lubricated compression, and single or double-acting compression.
A single packed compressor is commonly used in non toxic oil field, natural gas, propane, butane, and similar applications where leakage containment is not critical. For toxic and corrosive industrial applications or where oil-free compression and leakage containment are crucial, a triple packed (T-Style) oil-free compressor is required.
Single Packed Reciprocating Compressors (Non Oil Free)
• Utilizes one set of segmented packing per piston rod
• Typically used in non-toxic, non-corrosive applications where oil-free gas is not required and leakage containment are not critical
• Multiple mounting options
• No distance piece
• Does not offer oil free compression
Operating Specifications
| Piston displacements: | up to 414 cfm (704 m3/hr) |
| Working pressure: | up to 1,650 psi (113.8 bar g) |
| Brake horsepower: | up to 75 hp (55.9 kw) |
| Maximum outlet temperature: | 350°F (177°C) |
Triple Packed Reciprocating Compressors (Oil Free)
• Utilizes three sets of segmented packing per piston rod and two distance pieces
• The design of the distance pieces along with the oil wiper rings and deflector rings prevent oil carryover
• Oil-free gas compression
• Typically used in toxic and corrosive applications where oil-free gas is required and maximum leakage containment are critical
