Rotary Vane Compressors
Rotary vane compressors have been utilized for over 50 years in low-pressure compression applications. The relatively simple design of rotary vane compressors offer comparatively low initial cost and ongoing maintenance when compared to other compressors utilized in low pressure gas management.
Rotary vane compressors are excellent in relatively high volume/relatively low pressure differential applications. Volumes from approximately 20 mscfd to 2.5 mscfd are obtainable at differential discharge pressures up to 60 psig for single stage models.
These positive displacement machines utilize a slotted, eccentrically mounted rotor. Blades, or vanes, ride in and out of the slots and slide out due to centrifugal force. The vane contacts the inside of the cylinder wall. As the rotor turns, the gas is swept into an ever decreasing space, thereby affecting compression. This simple design allows for years of trouble-free service and makes rotary vane compressors a very attractive option for low pressure services.
Typical applications include vapor recovery, wellhead compression, medium pressure gas boosting, landfill gas recovery,
and casinghead pressure reduction.
