Recommended reasons for CO2 compressor.

Reciprocating compressors are used to compress several different types of gases. This article focuses on carbon dioxide (CO2) compressors and precautions to be taken during reciprocating collection and analysis to ensure the safe operation of your compressor.

Here are the main points of the article:

How do you prevent damage to the CO2 compressors?

1. What are CO2 compressors?

CO2 compressors are widely used in the fields of oil well injection, removal, fertilizer and carbon dioxide production. These CO2 compressors have different pressure and temperature ranges depending on the process, and may have different carbon dioxide gas compositions of hydrocarbons and different percentages of relative humidity. These different parameter ranges are an area of concern for CO2 compression.

Carbon dioxide is driven during the cycle. After recovery at pressure levels of 8 to 10 bar, it will compress to 50 to 60 bar. Customers operate factories of all sizes. The delivery is between 10 and 200 Nm3/h.

2. What are the features of the CO2 compressors?

The features of the CO2 compressors are as the follows:

l Utmost product purity: in the CO2 compressor, the process gas is carefully separated from the hydraulic fluid through a triple diaphragm assembly.

l Environmental safety: The PDC motor uses a static seal so that carbon dioxide gas does not migrate to the crankcase and is safe for the environment. The crankcase does not need to be cleaned or vented, so process gas cannot leak into the atmosphere.

l CO2 is widely used: Carbon dioxide is used as a propellant and acidity regulator in food and is a food additive. It is used to make carbonated soft drinks and soda water. In CO2 compressors, it is used as a compressed gas for portable pressure tools and used by many consumer products that require pressurized gases.

3. How do you prevent damage to the CO2 compressors?

The easiest way to prevent the damage is to ensure that your suction scrubbers and drainage protocols are in specification, and by observing the phase envelope diagram of the gas, and determine the formation of the CO2 compressor to avoid liquid precipitation during operation. Operators should be kept as far away from the liquid area as possible to minimize damage to the compressor. Other data, such as actual gas composition and relative humidity percentages, will help fine-tune the phase envelope. Getting the actual temperature and pressure data from the CO2 compressor and using the phase envelope will help determine if the CO2 compressor is in danger. It can be summarized as a general guideline that carbon dioxide component should be inhaled at a temperature higher than cricondentherm, at which no matter how high the pressure is, it cannot form a liquid. In most cases, the inhalation temperature should be above 110 degrees F.

Our CO2 compressors are optimized for many CO2 applications due to their oil-free, dry running, and gas-tight design.

Over time, CO2 shows good results in different system configurations. Compared with other gas, it is environmentally harmless, non-flammable, has low toxicity, can be widely used, and is a low-cost substance. For more information of our CO2 compressors, call us.
