modern compressor
system that provides higher
efficiency, lower emissions
and is easier to maintain.
A Stroke of Genius

The success of the VIP line

is the result of continued
product development using
advanced design tools,
extensive laboratory testing
and more than 15 years
of proven field reliability
when properly applied
and maintained.

Dresser-Rand Valve-in-Piston
(VIP) compressors, intended
for the lower horsepower
spectrum of our gas field
compressor product line, were
introduced in 1994 following
extensive development work
and several years of field
testing. A combination of
proven field success and
advanced design techniques
enabled development of
a complete line of VIP
compressors, ranging
from the A-VIP compressor
(15,400 lb/68 kN rod load)
up to the D-VIP compressor
(45,000 lb/200 kN rod
load). Since its introduction,
more than 360 frames and
1,000 cylinders have been
produced for both gas field
and other markets worldwide.

Our VIP compressor cylinder

design requires up to 40
fewer parts than a
conventional cylinder (only
two each of suction and
discharge valves in all cylinder
sizes; no valve covers, no
valve crabs, etc.) resulting in
reduced inventory and lower
maintenance costs. There
are also fewer leak passages,
reducing the chances for
fugitive emissions to escape
into the atmosphere.
Large inlet gas passages;
minimal gas turns and twists;
no valve masking; large
valve lift areas; and short,
straight discharge

gas passages all lead to

improved efficiency and
lower BHP per MMSCFD
compressed. The result
is lower power costs or
additional capacity.
The VIP compressor
design has inherently
lower reciprocating
weights, resulting in lower
unbalanced forces and
couples. This reduces
potential vibration levels
and provides an efficient,
smooth-running compressor.
New innovative aftermarket
programs have been
developed in conjunction with
our authorized packagers.
Maintenance parts are more
readily available, and we
offer a variety of training
programs to help ensure
high compressor availability.

Dresser-Rand is truly focused upon bringing energy and

the environment into harmony. With fewer leak passages,
the VIP compressor reduces the chance for fugitive
emissions to escape into the atmosphere.

All VIP compressors offer standard, hand-operated variable volume clearance

pockets and crank-end clearance adjustments provide exibility for changing
compression requirements. Head end unloaders are optional for some sizes.

A-VIP ComPressors:
The A-VIP compressor is offered in 3.5 (89 mm) stroke
at 1,800 RPM and 4.5 (114 mm) stroke at 1,500 RPM.
The highly reliable frame has years of proven gas field
experience. It is available in 2 or 4 throws with ratings up to
1,300 HP (969 kW) at 1,800 RPM or 1,083 HP (805 kW) at
1,500 RPM to match available engine or motor drivers. The
A-VIP cylinders are identical between the two stroke options
(the only difference is the discharge valve center-bolt and
piston rod).

B-VIP ComPressors:
The B-VIP compressor is offered in 5.0 (127 mm) stroke
at 1,500 RPM and 6.0 (152 mm) stroke at 1,200 RPM.
The highly reliable frame has years of proven gas fi eld
experience. It is available in 2 or 4 throws with ratings up to
2,125 HP (1,585 kW) at 1,500 RPM or 1,700 HP (1,268 kW)
at 1,200 RPM to match available engine or motor drivers. The
B- and C-VIP cylinders are identical between the two stroke
options (the only difference is the discharge valve center-bolt
and piston rod).

C-VIP ComPressors:
The C-VIP compressor is offered in 4.0 (101.6 mm) stroke
at 1,800 RPM, 5.0 (127 mm) stroke at 1,500 RPM and 6.0
(152 mm) stroke at 1,200 RPM. The highly reliable frame
has years of proven gas field experience. It is available in
2 or 4 throws with ratings up to 2,880 HP (2,148 kW) at
1,800 RPM, 2,400 HP (1,790 kW) at 1,500 RPM or 1,920 HP
(1,432 kW) at 1,200 RPM to match available engine or motor
drivers. The B- and C-VIP cylinders are identical between the
three stroke options (the only difference is the discharge
valve center-bolt and piston rod).

D-VIP ComPressors:
The D-VIP compressor is offered in 5.0 (127 mm) stroke
at 1,500 RPM, 6.0 (152 mm) stroke at 1,200 RPM and
7.0 (178 mm) stroke at 1,000 RPM. The D-VIP compressors
use the reliable HOS compressor frame with years of
proven gas field experience. It is available in 2, 4 or 6
throws with ratings up to 5,625 HP (4,195 kW) at 1,500 RPM,
4,500 HP (3,356 kW) at 1,200 RPM or 4,800 HP (3,580 kW)
at 1,000 RPM to match available engine or motor drivers. The
unique D-VIP cylinders are identical between the three stroke
options (the only difference is the discharge valve center-bolt
and piston rod).
