Proven OEM Design Upgraded To Current Efficiencies

ISOPAC centrifugal compressors are field-proven machines featuring an OEM design, heavy-duty materials and a long history of reliability. Now, Dresser-Rand offers high-efficiency, low maintenance remanufactured ISOPAC centrifugal compressors that represent the most reliable and efficient equipment on the market.

Competitively priced and delivered in a fraction of the standard turnaround time for new units, these compressors are backed by a full new-unit warranty.

Existing ISOPAC units are easy to replace with remanufactured units since the footprint, foundation and piping do not need to change. Also, in comparison to new units, the remanufactured compressors are easily maintained due to the horizontally split case design.

1. IMPELLERS High-head, open-bladed impellers are manufactured by five axis milling from 17-4PH stainless steel blanks. High efficiency impellers  are also available.

2. BEARINGS Precision thin-wall, steel-backed babbitt-lined bearings supported in a horizontally split bearing housing are used for the bull gear shaft. Each bull gear bearing contains a Michell two-direction thrust bearing system. The high-speed pinion shafts are supported in the original Clark design tilting pad bearings which are carried in a horizontally split bearing housing. KMC Flexure Pivot™ tilt pad bearings are also available. All bearing oil seals are of the labyrinth type.

3. GEAR CASE All gear cases are horizontally split at the bull gear and pinion centerline for ease of maintenance. Ports provide easy visual inspection of gearing above each pinion/bull gear mesh area. A. PINION SHAFT AND GEARS The pinion shafts, including the gear, two-direction thrust collars, and impeller mounting flanges, are machined from solid forgings. The shafts are dynamically balanced before mounting the impellers and again after the impellers are in place. B. LABYRINTH SEALS Horizontally split aluminum labyrinth shaft air seals are installed behind the impellers to provide a seal between the compressor stage and the atmospheric port. The atmospheric port isolates the pinion bearings from the compressor stage. A polymer seal is also available from Dresser-Rand.

4. INTER-COOLER AND MOISTURE SEPARATORS Inter-coolers and moisture separators are provided between each stage of compression. Coolers are shell-and-tube and constructed of copper or Admiralty tubes with aluminum fins. Stainless steel moisture separator pads are located downstream of the inter-coolers to limit moisture carry-over.

5. LUBE SYSTEM The lube system is completely piped and mounted on the base to supply pressurized lube oil to the compressor bearings and gears and in some cases, also the drive motor.

6. BASE The fabricated steel base on all sizes provides support for the gear case and compressor assembly, main driver and lubricating system components. The inter-coolers, moisture separators and lube oil reservoir are in the base.
