MSG (multi-stage geared) compressors offer outstanding design flexibility. MSG compressors are application engineered with numerous available configurations:
• Flows from 70 to 3800 m3/min (2500 to 135,000 CFM)
• Input capacity to over 18,650 kW (25,000 hp)
• Discharge pressures to 100 barg (1450 psig)
Oil-Free Air and Gas
• Prevents system contamination
• Reduces the potential for compressed air pipeline fires caused by oil carryover
• No costly waste disposal associated with oil-laden condensate
• Eliminates the expense and maintenance of oil separation filters at the discharge
High Reliability
MSG centrifugal compressors are designed to be extremely
reliable due to:
• Conservative high-quality gear design
• Long-life pinion bearing design
• Thrust loads absorbed at low speed
• Stainless steel compression elements
Low Compressor Operating Life Cycle Cost
MSG centrifugal compressors provide better overall operating efficiency than positive displacement or other centrifugal compressors.
• Excellent efficiencies at full load, part load and no load
• Low maintenance cost
• Increased uptime from high-reliability design (limits the need for multiple unit installations for basic reliability reasons)
• No sliding or rubbing parts in the compression process that can cause wear and thereby efficiency loss
