Turbo-Compressor (TC) Series

Maximize your cryogenic plant's performance

The TC Series is a robust line of compressor-loaded turboexpanders specifically designed for demanding industrial gas and liquefaction applications.

Key advantages of TC series turboexpanders:

• Expander efficiency up to 89% for superior cooling performance 
• "Zero Leakage" Inlet Guide Vanes for precise and continuous flow control.
• Shaft-driven boost compressor to reduce power consumption and increase overall plant efficiency.
• Rugged rotor design and advanced sealing for high reliability and low maintenance costs.

How does the TC series ensure operational efficiency?

Our proprietary "Zero Leakage" Inlet Guide Vanes (IGV) provide precise, continuous control across the machine's full operational spectrum. This adjustable design allows for smooth turn-up capability to 125% of design flow and maintains zero sidewall clearance for maximum expander efficiency. Furthermore, the integral shaft-driven boost compressor recovers energy, significantly reducing power consumption and thus increasing the overall plant's energy efficiency.

What guarantees TC series reliability and low TCO?

The heart of the TC Series is its rugged rotor system, featuring a stiff shaft and high-capacity tilt pad bearings that ensure maximum stability at all loads and speeds .

• Advanced Sealing: A dual independent labyrinth shaft seal is precision machined to ultra close clearances, minimizing seal gas consumption and preventing process stream contamination [cite: 94, p. 8].
• Ease of Maintenance: The tapered bore and stretch rod design allows for independent balancing and ensures wheel/shaft self-alignment under all conditions. Components are individually balanced for field interchangeability and quick repair, leading to the lowest Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
