AERZEN Low Pressure Gas Booster

Description

Low Pressure Gas Booster

Series GMD

The GMD series, made by AERZEN, is the universal gastight booster solution for the low-pressure range. Equipped with a magnetic coupling, it ensures a maintenance-free sealing concept. Locking systems for sealing the drive shaft are completely eliminated, allowing a low-maintenance machine concept. The separation between the oil and process sides is achieved by a special piston ring seal.

Process Gas Blowers from AERZEN Work Reliably in all Industries and in all Markets and Countries of the World

AERZEN offers the process gas and refrigeration industry an enormously wide range of blower technologies – perhaps the widest ever. The machines operate in a stand-alone manner, as part of a machine-or-container combination, onshore and offshore. You find them in all key industrial applications.

Applications

• Industrial gases: Air separation
• Oil & gas extraction and storage: Gas recovery (VRU) & decarbonization/tertiary oil recovery
• Chemical industry: Acetylene circular gas
• Petrichemistry, refineries: Ethylene, propylene, olefin (feed gas compression) & butadiene (extractive distillation)
• Industrial research & development: Circular processes (inert gases, purge gases)
• Glass industry: Oxygen injection (melting furnace) & tin bath protective atmospheres (hydrogen, nitrogen)

Technical Data

• Type of technology: Positive Displacement Blowers
• Differential pressure (Δp): 150 to 1,000 mbar
• Volume flow: 30 to 11,000 m3/h
• Medium: Process Gases
• Conveying: Oil-free

Gas Boosters for Low-pressure Applications

The GMD series from AERZEN is the universal gastight booster solution for the low-pressure range. Equipped with a magnetic coupling, it guarantees a virtually maintenance-free sealing concept. Locking systems for sealing the drive shaft are completely eliminated, allowing a low-maintenance machine concept. The separation between the oil and process sides is achieved by a special piston ring seal. The robust two-lobe design allows a design pressure of 7.0 barg according to AD2000/DIN EN 13445. 16 sizes guarantee optimum efficiency and operation conditions for every design case.

Design

• Max. pressure increases of 1.0 bar
• Splash lubrication
• Separation of the oil chambers and the conveying chamber by grey cast iron or PEEK piston seals
• Separation of the conveying and the oil chamber is possible through separating the gas
• Sealing of the drive shaft by a hermetically sealed magnetic coupling, optionally by an oil-lubricated double-acting mechanical seal
• Maximum pressure 7.0 bar (g)
• Housing sealed with O-ring seals

Sealings

Shaft sealing by a hermetically sealed magnetic coupling. Alternatively, an oil-purged double-acting mechanical seal with thermosiphon cooling for torques ≥ 600 Nm.

Direction of Flow

Vertically downwards.

Drive

Direct coupling with motor (type of construction B35 for magnetic coupling or B3 for alternative shaft sealing via mechanical seal).
