Whole Machine Description


Optimized Version (Z-type, Advantage-focused with Company Info)

The compressor adopts a Z-type reciprocating design with water cooling and oil-free operation. It features a two-row, three-stage compression process, and the unit is supplied in a modular configuration, allowing for convenient transportation and installation.

The overall structure is designed for stable and reliable operation, with an integrated layout of main and auxiliary systems to ensure smooth performance under continuous working conditions.

A double-distance piece design effectively isolates the crankcase from the compression chamber, preventing oil carryover and ensuring clean, contamination-free gas compression, making it suitable for applications with higher gas purity requirements.

The compressor is designed with low vibration and noise levels, while reducing wear parts and simplifying the structure, which helps achieve easy operation, reduced maintenance workload, and longer service intervals.

This model is manufactured by Bengbu United Compressor (China), a professional industrial gas compressor manufacturer specializing in LPG compressors, natural gas compressors, hydrogen compressors, and reciprocating compressor systems for global industrial applications.
