The main functions of the centrifugal compressor for onshore and offshore natural gas power plants transport large-capacity high-pressure gas, compared with general compressor, can work continuously for a long time and reduce the advantage such as noise.
Centrifugal compressor is a high-performance turbine machine, using high-speed rotating impeller to increase the pressure of the gas, making it easier to transport through the pipeline. Hyundai heavy industries of new type of gas compressor in 4500-6900 kpa pressure sealing gas transport 1100 tonnes per hour.
Hyundai heavy industries since 2011, signed compressor technology strategic cooperation with Japan's mitsubishi heavy industries, and formally into gas compressor business. The new product research and development, mitsubishi corporation provides a rotating shaft and the impeller, and by hyundai heavy industries responsible for other accessories manufacturing, assembly and commissioning.
Centrifugal gas compressor is a high-value products with cutting-edge technology, each worth about $3.5 million, mainly from Europe, America and Japan's occupation of about $4 billion enterprise market scale.
