9 GE Centrifugal & Axial Compressors
PCL series
These compressors have been designed to meet the range of flow and compression ratios required
by gas pumping stations.
A variety of standard casing sizes are available to cover a wide range of gas flow.
The same casing can house different numbers of impellers to optimize performance in terms of
efficiency, compression ratio and operating range.
Field modification of the impeller configuration can be made to accommodate changes in
operating conditions.
The compressor casings are made of forged steel to provide maximum material strength and
metallurgical stability. Vibration-free operation is assured by positioning bearings at both casing
ends which provides the necessary rigidity to the rotor.
Dry gas seals are normally used to prevent gas leakage.
Floating bushing oil seals are also available on request.
The suction and delivery nozzles are generally located opposite each other to meet station layout
requirements. Axial inlet is also available when the pressure ratio allows for a single impeller.
