skid mounted piston compressor for gas storage injection

The skid-mounted design of our piston compressors creates compact units that are easy to transport and rapidly deploy in the field, serving a wide range of industries such as hydrogen, petrochemicals, silicon, fluorine, and metallurgy. We offer fully customized solutions to meet specific customer requirements, ensuring reliable performance in all environments and under demanding operating conditions.

Principle of Operation of Skid-Mounted Piston Compressors

Based on the positive displacement compressor principle, these units compress gas through a reciprocating piston within a cylinder:

1. Suction process: The piston moves downward, cylinder pressure drops below ambient, the suction valve opens, and external gas enters the cylinder.
2. Compression process: The piston moves upward, reducing cylinder volume and compressing the gas, causing pressure to rise.
3. Exhaust process: When the required discharge pressure is reached, the exhaust valve opens and compressed gas is released to pipelines or storage devices.
4. Return process: The piston descends, beginning the next suction, compression, and exhaust cycle.

The skid-mounted design pre-assembles all major components—compressor, cooling system, drive unit, control system—within a compact frame, enabling quick transport, installation, and commissioning, and significantly reducing onsite installation time and cost.

Features of Skid-Mounted Piston Compressors

1. Wide range of discharge pressures and flow rates: Stable operation under high-pressure and high-flow conditions meets diverse industrial demands.
2. High volumetric efficiency: Volumetric compression maximizes cylinder utilization and reduces energy waste.
