FEATURES
Wide Efficiency Range An Ariel 4/6 lobe
rotor profile is designed specifically for natural
gas service and provides a wide, highefficiency operating range.
Integral Gearbox The AR282 incorporates
an integral gearbox to match current and
future needs with a simple gear ratio change.
The seven available gear ratios enable
optimum matching of available gas engine
and electric motor drivers with compressor
flow and efficiency.
Variable Vi Since operating conditions
always change, the Vi (internal compression
ratio) is infinitely adjustable from 2.5 to 5.0
while the unit is running. Handwheel or
hydraulic actuators are available.

The AR282s unique integral gearbox with seven gear ratios

matches gas engine and electric motor drivers with
compressor flow and efficiency.

Capacity Control Inlet flow can be infinitely adjusted while the unit is running from 100% to 30%
of full load capacity. Handwheel or hydraulic actuators are available.
Flexibility Separate devices for Vi and inlet flow control allow optimum compressor performance at
full and part-load operating conditions.
Long Bearing Life Hydrodynamic, precision sleeve radial bearings and thrust-balanced angular
contact ball thrust bearings are standard.
Long Seal Life A pressure-balanced, spring-loaded carbon seal is installed on low-speed input shaft.
Packager Friendly Construction The SAE bell house mounting with integral gear design enables
a common skid for a wide range of compressor flows. This feature also minimizes the time required to
align the engine and compressor. Top suction and side discharge connections result in low input shaft
height and simplified piping arrangement.
