Reciprocating piston gas compressors are mechanical devices designed to increase the pressure of gases. They achieve this by using a piston within a cylinder to compress the gas, thereby reducing its ...

Electricity and natural-gas delivery company CenterPoint Energy — Mississippi River Transmission LLC (CNP-MRT) owns and operates 8,200 miles of transmission pipeline that carried 1.6 trillion cubic ...

ARC recently completed an update to its compressor monitoring & controls market study. Lead author, Tim Shea, was interviewed by Allen Avery on some of the key highlights uncovered during the research ...

To continue this simple question with a complicated answer, in this blog post we will deal with rotary screw compressors, the most common type of compressor found in industrial sites. If you have ...

A reciprocating compressor, or positive displacement compressor, uses a plunger or piston to compress gas in the compressor cylinder as the engine drives the piston back-and-forth inside the cylinder.

Gas compression can be accomplished by many different techniques. Positive displacement compressors include reciprocating compressors and rotary compressors. Reciprocating compressors utilize the ...

Selecting the best fuel gas compressor technology is critical for plant performance and economics. This comprehensive comparison examines three compressor types to help power plant designers choose ...

The compressor is the heart of any air conditioning or refrigeration system, so when it starts showing signs of not working correctly, technicians must act quickly in order to find out what is wrong.

The capacity of a compressor is measured in Btu per hour (Btuh) or Btu per minute (Btu/min). Remember, there are 12,000 Btuh or 200 Btu/min in one ton of refrigeration. The capacity of a piston-type ...
