Strength in compression

As a gas is compressed it is also heated. The molecules tend to collide more often with each other in a smaller space, and the energy produced by these collisions is evident as heat. This heat is undesirable in the compression process, so the gas may be cooled by circulating air or water.

We commonly see the following applications from the Compression industry:

  • CO2 Compression
  • Fuel Gas Compression
  • Natural Gas Gathering
  • Recycling Gas Compression
  • Wellhead Natural Gas Boosters
  • Helium Compression
  • Hydrogen Compression
  • Landfill Gas Compression
  • Process Air Compression
  • Nitrogen Compression

We help this market by supplying shell and tube exchangers for high-pressure applications, hairpin exchangers that reduce unit length when temperature crossing occurs. Aerial coolers offer the flexibility of multiple process cooling, and plate type exchangers for their compact size and strong thermal performance. Other heat exchangers include low-pressure exchangers that help keep pressure drops low and can help knock out carried over moisture in the process stream.
