GAS Compressors
API617 Chapter 3
• API 617 - 7th ed. - Chapter 3 : IG compressors Able to meet the Stringent Safety and reliability
demands of the Petroleum, Chemical, Power and Gas Industries
• Cameron supplies compliant with API617 Ch 3 GAS compressors (Reference list: approx 80
units installed)
Gas Mole Weight: Min Mole Weight (6.5 MW) - Max Mole Weight (48 MW)
Actual Inlet Flow: Min Flow (250 ICFM into any stage) - Max Flow (40,000 ICFM)
Pressure Ratio’s Per Stage: Min Pressure Ratio - Max Pressure Ratio dependant on MW
Temperature, Inlet: Minimum Inlet Temp (-30 to -40 deg C, depending on frame ) Maximum
Inlet Temp (typically 120 deg C, will be dependent upon application and how much heat is
added in each stage)
Power, Total: Max overall power per gearbox is limited approx. 17,000 HP (12,700 kW)

Benefits
• Optional inlet guide vane control plus bypass for
Optimum consistent gas delivery under all conditions
Control
• Essentially vibration-free
• Requires only a pad suitable for supporting the
no vibration static weight of the package
The lowest Compressor operating life Cycle • Compressor, lubrication system, intercoolers,
Cost shaft coupling, coupling guard, interconnecting
piping, etc. all on a common base
• Excellent efficiencies at full load, part load and
• Installation on a slab foundation in the
no load
shortest possible time
• No wearing parts requiring periodic changes or
• Easy component accessibility
replacement in the compression elements
• Great flexibility to tailor a machine to your
• Elimination of all sliding or rubbing parts in the
needs
compression process
• Minimizes floor space required
• Increased uptime from high reliability design
(limits the need for multiple unit installations)
• Pulsation free

Benefits
Thrust collar design for improved
reliability and efficiency
• Buffer gas pressure can be set so that no buffer gas enters the
process but a small amount of process gas vents out of the System
• Used for High Flow and Low Pressure • Used for Low Flow / High Pressure and
application High Flow / Low Pressure appl
• Low pressure ratio achievable across each • Low or High pressure ratio achievable
stage across each stage depending from appl
• Typical input speed varies between • Typical input speed constant & fixed at 1500
6000 – 10000 RPM – 3000 RPM
•Typically requires a speed changer when • Speed changer not required when coupled
coupled with a electric drive motor. with a electric drive motor.
• Surge event will fail compressor • Surge event will Not fail compressor
• Sealing system sometimes purged by Oil • Sealing system purged by N2/process gas
• We can offer sound enclosure, complete with fire detection and fighting (co2 anti-fire system).
• Surge is not failing the compressor. Electronic controller not strictly required.
• Our machines are more compact vs single shaft (minimized overall footprint)
• IG are much less complicated and compact (IG don’t have 3 components drive train) vs Axial
