Overview


The ZW-1.0 / 16-24 Liquefied Gas Compressor, manufactured by Bengbu United Compressor, is a high-performance industrial equipment designed for efficient handling of low-boiling, volatile substances. As a leading liquefied gas compressor in the market, it excels in applications ranging from urban construction and petroleum processing to defense, coal mining, chemical engineering, metallurgy, and liquefied gas stations.



This compressor is specifically optimized for ammonia gas (with medium composition in mol%), boasting a processing capacity of 1.0m³/min—making it ideal for both liquid transportation and residual gas recovery of substances like propane, butane, and butene. Its variant models can also handle propylene and liquid ammonia, offering versatility across diverse industrial needs.



Key operational parameters ensure reliability: it operates with an inlet pressure of 1.6MPa.G and an inlet temperature of ≤40℃, while delivering an exhaust pressure of 2.4MPa.G. Powered by a 18.5kW main motor, it balances power and efficiency, with compact overall dimensions of ~1300 × 800 × 1050mm and a whole machine weight of ~500kg for easy installation in various settings.


Features


High Efficiency & Reliability


Engineered for peak performance, the ZW-1.0 / 16-24 compressor combines high efficiency with robust reliability. Its design minimizes energy loss, ensuring consistent operation even in demanding industrial environments. The automation system reduces manual intervention, lowering the risk of human error and enhancing long-term stability.


Low Maintenance & User-Friendly Design


With fewer vulnerable parts, this compressor requires minimal upkeep, cutting operational costs. Its low vibration and noise levels (achieved through precision engineering) create a safer, more comfortable working environment. Operators benefit from intuitive controls, making operation and maintenance straightforward—even for teams with basic technical training.


Integrated Skid-Mounted Installation


The main and auxiliary components are fully integrated into a skid-mounted structure, ensuring smooth, stable operation. This design simplifies transportation and on-site installation, reducing setup time and labor costs. Whether for fixed facilities or mobile applications, the skid-mounted configuration adapts seamlessly to different working conditions.


Advanced Structural & Material Engineering


Built with a D-type (symmetrical balance) structure, the compressor uses water-cooled, oil-free lubrication technology and a reciprocating piston design with 2-row, 3-stage compression. The crankcase, crafted from gray cast iron, stores lubricating oil and includes essential interfaces for oil drainage, temperature monitoring, and maintenance.


Application Area


The product is widely used in urban construction, petroleum, national defense, coal, geology, chemical industry, metallurgy, machinery manufacturing, medicine, liquefied gas stations and other departments. In addition, it is suitable for liquid transportation and residual gas recovery of low boiling and volatile substances such as propane, butane, and butene. Its variant products can be used for liquid transportation and gas recovery of propylene, liquid ammonia, etc.

Whole Machine Description


The compressor adopts D-type (symmetrical balance type), water-cooled, oil-free lubrication, reciprocating piston type, 2-row 3-stage compression, and the entire unit is supplied in a modular manner.

The compressor crankcase is made of gray cast iron and has four holes of different diameters for installing crosshead slides, bearings, and bearing seats. The lower part of the crankcase can store lubricating oil for the compressor to lubricate; The upper surface of the crankcase has an interface for installing a fuel inlet (breathing port) cover plate; In addition, the crankcase also has spare interfaces such as oil drain port, oil gauge observation port, bearing seat oil injection port, and installation oil temperature measurement port. The oil drain port of the crankcase has been connected to the outside of the compartment and is equipped with a manual ball valve for oil discharge from the crankcase.

The middle body of the compressor is a double middle body structure, ensuring that the middle body space is greater than one stroke, preventing compressor oil from entering the cylinder from the crankcase, thus ensuring that compressor oil does not contaminate the medium. The material of the compressor cylinder is gray cast iron/forged steel, and it adopts an oil-free lubrication design, which does not require oil lubrication. The cylinder head material is gray cast iron/forged steel, and the air valves are arranged axially on the cylinder head.
