Higher pressures can be handled by the vertically split case configuration than by the horizontally split kind. Assembled as a cylindrical inner bundle, the rotor and stationary internals are inserted axially through one end of the case. The inner bundle must be taken out for disassembly in order to perform inspection and maintenance on a centrifugal compressor with radial splits.
The design of the compressor installation must leave enough room for the removal of the inner bundle. For applications requiring high pressures or the compression of hydrogen-rich gases, vertically split (barrel-type) centrifugal compressors are the preferred. The cylindrical enclosure guarantees excellent gas-tightness and effective stress distribution.
The global vertically split centrifugal compressor market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2030.
Centrifugal compressors with a vertical split method have been created by Hitachi. With a high pressure of roughly 4-35 MPa, vertically split (barrel-shaped BCH) compressors are used for hydrogen and other light gases and applications. They are capable of high-speed stable operation at rotation speeds of up to about 15,000 revolutions per minute.
The Howden Single Shaft Multistage Vertical Split compressors are made to handle a variety of gases. They are hermetically sealed utilising either dry gas, contact-type oil, or floating ring oil technology.
A particularly encouraging development is Siemens’ planned acquisition of Demag Delaval. The potential of Demag Delaval will be increased by the Siemens takeover. The MV line of centrifugal compressors from Demag Delaval, which feature vertically split casings, are perfect for compressing gases with light molecular weight.
High and extremely high discharge pressures are also accomplished with the MV series. All of the compressor’s internal components are bundled together so that they can be easily removed axially from the casing shell without removing the process gas pipework, which is advantageous in systems with upward-pointing nozzles.
With a discharge pressure of up to 1,000 bar/14,500 psi, Siemens Energy’s vertically split compressors (barrel type) offer a wide range of performance in terms of volume flow and pressure ratio. They permit the extremely low suction temperatures needed for LNG boil-off gas service (down to -160 °C/-256 °F).
The STC-SVm platform, which evolved from the top-of-the-line DATUM and STC centrifugal compressors, integrates the greatest technology from our current compressor range, fusing tried-and-true parts with cutting-edge capabilities.
A broad portfolio developed by Baker Hughes over more than 50 years of CO2 compression experience and dependable products. The vertically split compressor design is supported by comprehensive knowledge of applications in the oil and gas sector.
Whether it’s powered by a steam turbine, gas turbine, or electric motor, it has the adaptability to meet any client needs in terms of performance, configuration, and train operability optimization. Discharge pressure from medium to low volume flow (300 to 145,000 m3/h) is up to 900 bar.
