Horizontal Compressor
Horizontal Compressors
Applications
Horizontal compressors offer the largest capacity of any of Corken’s compressor lines. This line of compressors can be used for unloading tankers or multiple railcars, wellhead gas recovery, pressure boosting, and gas blanketing.
Single packed horizontal compressors are commonly utilized in propane, butane, and similar applications where oil-free gas and leakage containment are not critical. When an application is located in a confined space with poor ventilation, or and oil-free compression is necessary, a triple packed (T-Style) compressor is recommended.
Options
The modular design of the horizontal compressor allows for various combinations of cylinder sizes with up to 4 stages of compression. Corken currently offers 8″ (203.2 mm), 6″ (152.4 mm), 5″ (127 mm), 4″ (101.6 mm), 3¼” (82.6 mm), and 2¾” (69.9 mm) cylinders. Most of these cylinders are available in a water-cooled version. Various other options such as variable clearance heads, corrosion resistant coating, and external crankcase oil cooler are also available.
