Overview


ZW-1.5/16-24 Oil-Free Ammonia Compressor for Industrial Refrigeration Applications

The ZW-1.5/16-24 Oil-Free Ammonia Compressor is a Z-type reciprocating piston compressor designed for ammonia gas compression in industrial refrigeration plants and gas handling systems.


Using ammonia as the working medium, this compressor is suitable for applications requiring clean gas compression, stable pressure control, and continuous operation. It is widely used in ammonia refrigeration systems, chemical plants, ammonia storage facilities, and industrial gas circulation processes.


The compressor provides a flow capacity of 1.5 m³/min, with an inlet pressure of 1.6 MPa.G and a discharge pressure of 2.4 MPa.G. Equipped with a 30 kW motor, it adopts a water-cooled system, oil-free lubrication design, Z-type reciprocating piston structure, and 2-row 3-stage compression configuration.


The compact design makes the ZW-1.5/16-24 suitable for industrial projects requiring reliable ammonia compression with limited installation space.


Ammonia Compression Solution


The compressor is mainly designed for systems where ammonia gas needs to be circulated, recovered, or transferred under controlled pressure conditions.

Typical processes include:

• Ammonia circulation in refrigeration systems

• Gas transfer between ammonia equipment

• Pressure balancing in ammonia storage systems

• Ammonia recovery during equipment operation

• Gas handling in chemical production processes


Design Highlights


Clean Compression for Ammonia Applications

The oil-free lubrication system minimizes the risk of oil entering the compressed gas, helping maintain cleaner ammonia gas conditions.

Stable Operation with Water Cooling

The water-cooled design improves heat management during continuous operation and supports stable compressor performance.

Compact Z-Type Configuration

The Z-type reciprocating structure provides a compact equipment layout while maintaining reliable compression performance.

Multi-Stage Pressure Increase

The 2-row 3-stage compression arrangement allows gradual pressure increase, reducing compression load between stages.
