Hi,
I'm new on cheresourses.com , Its really great source of knowledge for the fresh engineers like me in the field.
My Question is: Which are the practical & easily applicable ways to increase the efficiency of the compressors being used in CNG (compressed natural gas) application?
Details: Here at our CNG stations we are using
- Intermech's BBR series 1200 SCMH compresor
- Horizontal
- Opposed balanced
- intercooled
- Tandem piston in HP side
- Pressurized crank case
- 160 KW motor driven, direct coupled
- Cameron's superior series 650 SCMH compressor
- CFA 32 crank case
- Horizontal
- Opposed balanced
- intercooled
- Tandem piston in HP side
- Non Pressurized crank case
- 90 KW motor driven, direct coupled
- Burckhardt's CU series 650 SCMH compressor.
- W type
- intercolled
- pressurized crank case
- 90 KW Motor driven, belt coupled
- Ruzza make 350 SCMH hydraulik booster compressor
- For Reciprocating compressors in 1,2 & 3, Suction pressure / 1st stage inlet = 12 - 19 Barg & Final discharge pressure = 240 - 245 Barg
- For hydraulik compressor in 4, suction pressure ranges from 40 barg to 190 barg & final discharge pressure is 240-245 barg
