Nitrogen Generator for Turbo Compressor

Nitrogen as a sealing gas to prevent explosions. Turbo compressors are used to compress large gas flows. They are used in petrochemical plants and refineries, for example. In this context, their task is to increase the pressure in gas pipelines. Nitrogen can be used as a sealing gas in turbo compressors. It is ...

Compressors for Gas Turbine Power Plants

In gas-turbine power plants, flammable gases are used to drive turbines. These turbines are in turn connected to generators which actually produce the electricity. In gas and steam combination power plants, the heat generated by the gas turbines is also used to produce steam for the steam turbines. Small gas power plants (socalled combined heat and power plants) use an internal combustion engine instead of a turbine to drive the generator. These combined heat and power plants are frequently used in order to cover ...

Compressors for Diesel-Engine Generators

Diesel-engine generators (also known as gen-sets) consist of a diesel engine and a generator. Given that they provide an independent means of generating electricity, they are a popular choice at production sites in remote areas or as emergency power supplies for major banks, hospitals, airports and even entire towns or cities. Indeed, a number of countries and island states produce the majority of their electricity using diesel-engine generators. ...

Compressors for Hydropower Plants

In hydroelectric power plants, the mechanical energy of the water is converted into electrical current using turbines and generators connected to them. Given that the effective head varies, a distinction is made between low, medium and high-pressure power plants. Similarly, there are run-of-river plants as well as storage plants (including pumped-storage plants) depending on the way in which the available water is used. ...
