Code

Text

reciprocatingCompressorHermetic

reciprocatingCompressorHermetic

A one-piece welded steel casing that cannot be opened for repair; if the hermetic fails it is simply replaced with an entire new unit.

reciprocatingCompressorSemiHermetic

reciprocatingCompressorSemiHermetic

A semi-hermetic uses a large cast metal shell with gasketed covers that can be opened to replace motor and pump components.

reciprocatingCompressorOpen

reciprocatingCompressorOpen

Open compressors rely on shaft seals to retain the internal pressure, and these seals require a lubricant such as oil to retain their sealing properties.

rotaryVaneCompressor

rotaryVaneCompressor

Rotary vane compressors consist of a rotor with a number of blades inserted in radial slots in the rotor. The rotor is mounted offset in a larger housing that is either circular or a more complex shape.

scrollCompressor

scrollCompressor

screwCompressor

screwCompressor

Rotary screw compressors use two meshed rotating positive-displacement helical screws to force the gas into a smaller space.

centrifugalCompressor

centrifugalCompressor

Centrifugal compressors use a rotating disk or impeller in a shaped housing to force the gas to the rim of the impeller, increasing the velocity of the gas.
