MSG® TURBO-AIR® 11000 Centrifugal Air & Gas Compressor
MSG® TURBO-AIR® 11000 Centrifugal Air & Gas Compressor
MSG TURBO-AIR 11000 is a more standardized compressor with a shorter delivery time. The MSG TURBO-AIR 11000 was designed from the ground up with input from actual end-users, assuring that this machine was built around customer needs for a more efficient and easily maintainable compressor.
MSG® TURBO-AIR® INTEGRALLY GEARED CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSORS
MSG TURBO-AIR 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)
FEATURES
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 TURBO-AIR 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
APPLICATIONS
Engineered Air Applications
· Industrial gases
· Instrument air
· American Petroleum Institute (API) standards
· Soot blowers
· Large plant air
· Power industry related
Gas Compressor Applications
· Fuel gas boosting
· Natural gas gathering
· Hydrocarbon refrigeration gas
· Carbon monoxide
· CO2 (wet or dry)
· SynGas
· Low molecular weight recycle gas
· High-pressure nitrogen
· Landfill gas
Easy Operation/Maintenance
· State-of-the-art MAESTRO control systems
· Fully automated operation for any process conditions
· Machine self-diagnostics
· Compression elements do not wear or require periodic replacement
· Accessible horizontally split gearbox for quick inspection
· Removable intercooler and aftercooler bundles for easy cleaning
Simple Installation
· Compressor, lubrication system, intercoolers, shaft coupling, coupling guard, interconnecting piping, etc. on a common base
· Easy installation with no special foundation requirements
· Easy component accessibility
· Site connection point flexibility
· Reduced floor space required
· Dynamic compression process is pulsation-free, so installation of additional dampening equipment is not required.
MSG TURBO-AIR centrifugal compressors are exceptional by design.
· One, two or three rotors, up to six stages per gearbox
· Horizontal splitline(s) for easy access to parts
GAS FLOW ARRANGEMENT
MSG TURBO-AIR centrifugal compressors feature an advanced arrangement of gas flow components. Advantages of this arrangement include:
· Directed gas movement to reduce turbulence induced friction
· Air is cooled after every stage to provide high isothermal efficiency
