    Turbo expander with compressor brake TC

    Typical Application
    Industrial Gas Industry (Air Separation Units) to provide refrigeration when a process booster compressor is required. Oil and Gas Industry: Natural gas treatment (dew point control, ethane recovery, LNG production, NGL and LPG recovery) Petrochemical plant for refrigeration (Ethylene and ammonia / urea plants)

    Usual Gases Handled


    Air, Nitrogen, or waste gas from air with high oxygen or with CO, CO2 (Sour) Natural Gas, H2 & CH4 mixtures, LNG, NGL, LPG. Cryostar can accept high liquid content at outlet due to its unique expander design experience.

    References
    Cryostar has a long experience in the design of the TC, with the first unit built in 1976 and more than 500 units in operation sold to the major gas and hydrocarbon companies.

    Features and benefits


    Turbo expander with compressor mounted on a common shaft. The cartridge design of the expander allows access to the rotating element without removing the expander casing and its cold box extension. For easy maintenance, a spare plug-in unit (expander without casings usually named cartridge) allows customer to change all internal parts within a minimum of time and with maximum reliability. Diffuser design allows low radial loads at all operating flows. A modular lube oil system is feeding the bearings. The standard cost effective expander package can be customized to meet the most stringent customer specifications or standards like API617 and API614.

    TC Cross Section
    1 High efficiency expander impeller 2 Variable inlet guide vanes for peak efficiency over wide operating range 3 Stiff shaft, sub critical (rigid) rotor 4 Diffuser 5 High efficiency compressor impeller
