Dresser-Rand can custom manufacture a compressor package to meet
almost every application.
Our AXI units are adaptable to all types of drivers and
coupling arrangements for electric motors, steam turbines, gas
turbines, or diesel or gas engines. Control panels can be
equipped with any degree of electronic instrumentation. In
addition, sound-attenuating silencers and enclosures or
blanketing are offered to help meet federal and customer noise
reduction requirements.
For our Type H AXI packages, we pre-assemble the appropriate
drive, oil system, sealing system, auxiliaries, piping, and
controls onto one or more bases to save valuable field
installation time.
Our Type L AXI packaged units are piped, wired and fitted out
prior to shipment for remote, difficult applications where
unattended operation is required (i.e., in desert or ocean
platform sites). They are ideal for direct drive by standard
2-pole/3550 rpm and 4-pole/1770 rpm motors, resulting in
significant cost advantages over the slower-speed, larger-frame
motors required by other types. Most units are direct-driven
through a flexible coupling, but V-belt or gear drive can also
be used if conditions warrant. A separately-mounted control
panel provides for remote automatic start and stop, first-out
alarm annunciation with local override for testing, and complete
checkout and transfer operations.
