Unique combined service capabilities
Atlas Copco is currently the only manufacturer to offer the inherent mechanical simplicity of integral gear technology in a complete
range of multi-stage expander/compressor/generator packages. Multi-staging with up to six stages on one gearbox is a uniquely cost-
effective configuration for the simultaneous processing of different gases and for energy recovery and process control applications.

Successful applications using this technology Compressor


with GT Series compressors include configu-
rations of multi-stage compressors which:

• Place an expander on one pinion to recover waste energy.

• Combine four stages of CO2 compression and two stages of


ammonia in a CO2 liquefaction plant.

• Combine four stages of CO2 H2 with two stages of H2, CO2


and CO in a Syngas plant.

Atlas Copco engineers will work with you to develop innovative


applications that can take advantage of this unique technology.

Expander

GT Series three-stage air compressor driven by an


integrated two-stage turboexpander and
a steam turbine.

This unit is installed in a chemical plant in China. The


volume is 25,770 m3/h (43,551 ACFM), with an inlet
pressure of 1 bar (14.7 psi) and discharge
pressure of 7.5 bar (110 psi).

Using recovered energy to drive this compressor


helps cut process energy needs by 55 %.

Standardised components simplify packaging
GT Series compressors are custom built for your application by combining proven components designed for the specific characteris-
tics of your application. This ensures mechanical integrity and permits more efficient packaging. In each application, the compres-
sor, driver and the lubrication system are designed to facilitate shipment and on-site installation and start-up.

Rotor assembly
The GT Series rotor assembly consists of a precisely matched
and balanced pinion shaft, a high-speed gear, thrust collars, and
an impeller.

Impeller selection is made from standard geometrically similar


impeller groups. Unique flow coefficients in each impeller
group meet the different requirements of the GT Series flow
range. All geometries have been thoroughly tested by Atlas
Copco’s R&D department.

Radial-bladed impellers (90°) and impellers with


backward leaning blades (45°, 50°, 65° and 70°)
are available in either open or closed configura-
tions.

Open impellers can be precision cast steel or


milled from a solid forging, depending on
application requirements. The standard material
used for cast open impellers is X5CrNi13.4
(A743-86a) or Armco 17-4ph.

Seals
Seals eliminate or minimise the outward leakage of process gas and/or
inward leakage of air into the compressor case. The type of seal used
depends upon the process requirements. Whatever the
sealing problem, Atlas Copco has a solution.

Milled impellers can be produced from any materials having
a proper yield strength. The cover discs for closed impellers
are secured by precision welding or high temperature vacuum

Thrust collars are shrunk on the pinion


shaft and locked in place with a split
locking ring. They transfer the force result-
ing from the opposed axial forces of the
compressor and high-speed pinion gear
to low-speed bull gear shaft, where the
axial thrust is absorbed by the thrust
bearing. This bearing design reduces
friction and minimises mechanical
losses.

Integral speed increaser


The integral speed increasing gears feature high quality helical
gearing with precise mesh geometry that helps to ensure reliable
performance, smooth operation, high mechanical efficiency, and
low noise. The operating speed of the pinion is above the first
critical with adequate operating margin from the resonances.

Standard helical gears are designed to DIN 3990 (AGMA

ion gear and bull gear teeth are gas nitrided or case hardened,
and ground.

The horizontally split gear box facilitates inspection and mainte-


nance of gearing, bearings, and seals without disconnecting sys-
tem piping. The gear box is extremely rigid and vibration
absorbent. Provision is made for mounting sensing probes to
monitor pinion shaft vibration. Multi-stage compressors can be
configured with up to four pinions.

Compressor case selection


Compressor case materials are determined by the specific gas to be handled and the operating pressure. Cast iron is normally used
for low-pressure applications and cast steel or modular cast iron are used for pressures of 10 bar or higher, depending on the case
size. Stainless steel can also be used, depending on the gas and temperature. All cases are hydrostatically tested to 150% of allow-
able working pressure.

11
Capacity control options
Because each compressor is an integral part of a plant, GT Series compressors are offered with the following capacity
control options which can help adapt the compressor to changing process conditions (e.g., discharge pressure and volu-
me) for maximum flexibility and efficiency.

Adjustable inlet guide vanes


offer a wide operating range and excellent part load perform-
ance. This option is recommended for medium to high pressure
ratio applications and when there will be substantial changes in
demand pressure as a function of flow. Inlet guide vanes can be
installed on the first stage only or on all stages.

Adjustable diffuser guide vanes


provide excellent control range in both single and multi-stage
applications. This option is recommended for constant pressure
ratio control particularly for high mach numbers.
Advantage: wide turndown regulation with minor efficiency
variation.

Adjustable inlet guide vanes
