Frequently Asked Questions

Why use reciprocating compressors for oxygen rather than centrifugal machines?
Centrifugal compressors are efficient at high flow and moderate pressure but lose viability below roughly 3,000 Nm³/h or above 3 MPa. Reciprocating piston compressors handle wide flow ranges efficiently, reach 25 MPa, and their oil-free design eliminates the hydrocarbon ignition risk that is critical in oxygen service.
What materials are used to ensure safe oxygen service?
Oxygen-compatible materials are used throughout — cylinder bodies and piston rings in bronze, PTFE, and stainless steel as appropriate; valve components selected to minimise adiabatic compression risk; cleaning procedures per ASTM G93 or equivalent; and pressure-rated PTFE-composite packing to prevent hydrocarbon contamination.
Can these compressors serve dual O₂/N₂ duty simultaneously?
Yes. Dual-medium models such as the 4MW-93/35 and 4ZW-84/30 are designed for simultaneous oxygen and nitrogen compression from a single driver, allowing ASU operators to maximise the value of installed power.
What is the maximum operating pressure for oxygen cylinder filling?
High-pressure filling models such as the ZW-1/165 and ZW-1.67/165 series operate up to 16.50 MPa, covering standard 150 bar and 200 bar oxygen cylinder filling specifications.
How are these compressors maintained in oxygen service?
Scheduled maintenance intervals are typically 4,000–8,000 operating hours for piston ring inspection and replacement. All maintenance must be performed with strict oxygen-clean procedures — no hydrocarbon lubricants, degreasers, or tools with hydrocarbon residues. Full maintenance manuals and spare parts kits are supplied with each unit.
Sourcing oxygen and hydrogen compression for the same facility? Our Hydrogen & Hydrogen Energy Compressors complement this range with a full suite of oil-free hydrogen process, circulating, and storage compressors.
