Compressor Selection

You should not have any problem for selection of gas engine for your centerifugal compressor contact aplication engineer of either Caterpillar or Cummins engine dealer nearest to you with all nessery inputs on your compressor like HP Drawn by compressor Tarque deatils of the compressor duty cycle of the compressor,Number of Hours of operation of the compressor per day,Chemical composition of fuel gas avilable ETC Provide as much information as you can on the compresor

This can be further confirmed,if we get feedback from someone who has already made use of such application. We can learn from past experience rather than having to reinvent the wheel.

i was an application engineer for one of the largest engine manafacturer in the world and its quite comon to couple centrifugal compressors for airconditioning applications.So if you have all techenical information on your Compressor.each application has to be studied in deatil and select the primemover.

Thank you for the information. What about fuel preference for primemover,from efficiency considerations?

Concidering the cost of avilable fuels like HSD,HFO etc and emission issues with these engines its advisible to choose Gas engines provided you have an assured supply of Gasues fuel.I dont know where you are located Number of Power plants are running on Gas engines in and arround Delhi.Gujarath etc.Who are operating Gas compressors driven by gas engines.

Try FES Systems of York, PA. They build screw compressor gas drive packages for the gas distribution industry. I've used their equipment in the past and have had very good results. Gary Wessel
