Reciprocating Compressor FAQs



What applications are reciprocating compressors typically used for?

 

Reciprocating compressors are commonly applied in gas transmission, oil & gas gathering, petrochemical processing, and LNG-related services, where high discharge pressure, flexible capacity control, and process adaptability are required.



What technical characteristics define reciprocating compressors in process applications?

 

Reciprocating compressors operate based on positive displacement, enabling high compression ratios per stage and precise flow control. Their configuration can be adapted to different gas compositions and process requirements, supported by API 618 and ISO 13631 design frameworks.



What is the difference between a process reciprocating compressor and a high-speed reciprocating compressor?

 

Process reciprocating compressors are designed for heavy-duty API 618 services such as petrochemical, refining, fertilizer, and gas transmission/injection. High-speed reciprocating compressors are more often used for gas gathering, processing, storage, and LNG-related duties where compact arrangement and higher operating speed are required.
