Unlocking the Advantages of Combination or Dual Process Compressors

Combination or dual process machines can combine any two gases, with air and nitrogen being the most common for centrifugal compressors. These versatile compressors are used in various applications where both compressed air and nitrogen are required, such as manufacturing, food processing, aerospace, and electronics. The primary purpose of a dual-process compressor is to provide both compressed air and nitrogen, making it a cost-effective and efficient solution for many businesses.

Pneumatic vs. Electric Valve Actuators for Centrifugal Compressors

Control valves play an important role in centrifugal compressor operation. Typical valves supplied with a compressor package include the inlet valve, discharge check valve, and, when required, a shut-off valve. The inlet and unloading valves are automatically controlled by the compressor control system and help maintain safe and efficient operation across varying demand conditions.
