8 GE Centrifugal & Axial Compressors
These compressors are designed to cover a wide range of applications and pressures (hydrogen
mixtures, hazardous gases, high pressure).
Casings can be rolled steel or forged with one or two end covers bolted or secured by shear rings.
For improved performance, diaphragms are, when practical, 100% machined.
Radial and thrust bearings are of the tilting pad type. Active Magnetic Bearings are also
available as an option.
End seals are of the dry gas type and other sealing solutions are also available.
In addition to conventional labyrinths, inter-stage seals can be abradable or honeycomb seals
to optimize the overall performance of the machine.
In-line, back-to-back or double flow configurations are also available.
Materials are adapted to the process requirements. Specific materials are selected to withstand
the various forms of corrosion present in sour or acid gas applications based upon extensive
experience in corrosive applications.
