The AERZEN Gearbox Turbos gearbox-driven turbo compressors are rated for a wide range of process gases and gaseous mixtures – including corrosive, toxic and flammable media – and are configured on a project-by-project basis for applications involving high volume flows and high pressures.
Integrated gearbox for high performance density
The integrated gearbox technology, featuring a central main gear and separate pinion shafts, enables the speed of the individual compressor stages to be adjusted to suit specific applications. This allows the stages to be specifically tuned with their respective operating and compression ratios. The result is high efficiency, a compact design and energy-efficient operation, even under demanding process conditions. Electric motors and steam turbines can be used as drivers.
Wide range of applications
The in-house R&D centre and manufacturing enable application-specific adaptations with a short time-to-market. The design and rating of the turbo compressors, including all auxiliary packages, are carried out by GPE Turbo, a member of the AERZEN Group. The impellers are manufactured in-house and the rotors are dynamically balanced. The compressors are then fully assembled and inspected. In addition, customised oil systems, technical solutions for gastight seals, as well as PLC programming and measurement technology are developed and integrated in-house. Compliance with API, ASME, DIN and other relevant industry standards is ensured in accordance with the customers’ specifications.
The Turbo portfolio for the process gas industry includes both compressor units with bare shaft ends (core units) and complete systems, including peripheral equipment. Typical applications can be found in the oil and gas industry, steel production, power plant technology, chemical and process engineering and in hydrogen and CO₂ processing. In particular large-scale industrial plants in continuous operation with high volume flows and high pressures benefit from the technological advantages of turbo compressors.
