Reciprocating
Compressors
Manufacturing, installing and
maintaining systems around
the world.
Dresser-Rand pioneered
reciprocating gas compression,
continually innovating and
improving as new materials and
technologies were developed.
Today, our reciprocating
compressors, manufactured to
stringent specifications, boast
an outstanding record for
performance, efficiency,
reliability, and low maintenance in
the most demanding upstream,
midstream and downstream
process applications.
COMMITTED TO
DELIVERING VALUE
For more than 100 years,
Dresser-Rand has been a world
leader in energy conversion
technology, designing,
manufacturing and servicing a
wide range of field-proven
centrifugal and reciprocating
compressors, gas and steam
turbines, expanders, and control
systems. D-R supplies reliable,
efficient energy-conversion
solutions that provide the highest
value to our clients by delivering
the lowest total cost of ownership
over the operating life of the
equipment. Our engineers
constantly seek improvements in
design, production and testing to
make our equipment even more
efficient and reliable. This R&D
focus is reflected in every product
and service we offer, from new
equipment to upgrades, that
extend the life of your installed
equipment. Our emphasis on
maximizing the value you receive
also extends to the way we work
with you. Our Corporate Product
Configurator (CPC) coordinates all
elements of the bidding,
engineering, design, and
manufacturing process. It
improves communication and
results by fostering closer
collaboration with our clients and
within D-R. Best of all, it has
dramatically cut our cycle times
for all project phases, so your
equipment can be on-line and
producing sooner.

most demanding upstream, midstream
and downstream applications.
Crosshead Extensions
On BDC-12H and larger units,
separate crosshead extensions
simplify frame transportation
and installation.
Crankshafts
Constructed of high-tensile-strength
alloy steel forgings, fully stress
relieved, heat treated. Bearing
surfaces are ground and polished to
a fine finish. Generous proportions
provide a wide margin of safety.

reciprocating compressors.
Pistons and Rods
Alloy steel piston rods with
rolled threads provide reliability
(proprietary TC3 optional*). All
pistons have non-metallic trim
materials for prolonged service
life of the piston, rider and packing
rings, which increases maintenance
intervals.
External Bolting
External bolting maintenance
accessibility allows for proper
tensioning.
Distance Pieces
Single- or two-compartment
distance pieces with large gastight access covers provide

Magnum Valves
Valve performance and
reliability are key to compressor
performance. By paying careful
attention to reliability in every
aspect of the design, weve
created a valve that can run
more than 50% longer than other
valves before needing service.
We proved it in thousands of
hours of tests, many at high
speeds and high temperatures,
with a wide range of gases. A
high-strength thermoplastic,
PolyEtherEtherKetone (PEEK), is
used to produce low-mass sealing
elements that withstand the high
impact velocities that occur during
operation. It also handles high
temperatures, is compatible with
most gas applications and resists
dirt, corrosion and liquid swelling.
The PEEK sealing element
provides reliable performance in
demanding conditions, while the
streamlined flow path optimizes
the effective flow area.
