Siemens Air Separation Compressor Development History and Product Technical Features
The development history of Siemens air separation compressor is also the history of Siemens leading the continuous innovation and development of the global integral tooth compressor. From the birth and patent registration of the world's first integral tooth compressor for air separation in 1948, to the current world's largest tooth compressor. In the past 70 years, Siemens has created several world firsts and has always occupied the technical top of the overall gear compressor.
The development history of Siemens air separation compressor

Technical Features of Siemens Integral Gear Compressor
•Single-stage impeller speed matching optimization, high efficiency and reliability
•The impeller and volute of each stage of the compressor can be disassembled separately for easy maintenance
• The impeller uses a face-tooth connection to ensure stable operation of the compressor under the harshest process conditions
• The compressor host is installed as a whole, and the installation time is short
• External cooler, in addition to easy cleaning and maintenance, the cooler can also be appropriately flexibly designed according to different water quality conditions
• The height of the workshop required for the compressor unit is low, and the traveling tonnage required for maintenance is small
Siemens Air Separation Compressor Product Line and Technical Features
Siemens not only has the world's first-class air separation compressor, but also has the world's absolute first driving steam turbine. Its new generation SST-600 steam turbine for driving air separation compressor has higher reliability and shorter start-up. time and greater efficiency.
• Rotor integral forging
• External main steam valve and control valve
• The upper and lower shells are symmetrical, the temperature distribution is uniform, and the start-up time can be shortened by 1/3.
•High pressure steam turbine with independent control oil station, precise control
•Blade types are more abundant, the steam inlet flow channel is more optimized, and the aerodynamic efficiency is better.
• The rotor dynamics and thrust system of the whole unit are fully optimized, and the operation stability of the unit is improved by a grade.
• Under the condition of the same specification of steam turbine, compared with domestic first-class products, the efficiency of the whole steam turbine is increased by ~5%; compared with international first-class products, the efficiency is increased by 1.5~2%.
