Iranian Specialists Produce High-Pressure Reciprocating Hydrocompressor
“Previously, the first high-pressure reciprocating hydro compressor was made in our company and it was unveiled for the first time in Iran. We have succeeded in making the first high-pressure mechanical reciprocating compressors that are fully indigenous with all the standards of the world after about 10 months,” said Mohammad Afkanpour, the managing director of the knowledge-based company.
Noting that the compressor can be used to compress various gases like hydrogen, natural gas, oxygen, carbon dioxide, flare gas, etc., he said, “One of the unique features of the manufactured compressor is much less vibration (about half) compared to its foreign models.”
“By acquiring the know-how and technology of making this compressor, the company is able to manufacture all types of mechanical reciprocating compressors (linear, W and V-shaped) as well as hydro compressors for different types of gases up to an output pressure of 750 bar and a flow rate of 1000 cubic meters per hour,” Afkanpour said.
A reciprocating compressor is a positive displacement machine in that a volume of gas is drawn into a compressor cylinder's compression chamber where it is trapped, compressed, and pushed out.
In a reciprocating hydrogen compressor, a piston or plunger compresses the hydrogen gas. As the piston or plunger moves back and forth, it increases the pressure of the hydrogen gas by reducing its volume.
