Flowserve Will Launch New SIHI® KPHX Liquid Ring Compressor at ACHEMA 2015
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Innovative Product Will Offer Pressures up to 12 Bar
DALLAS, June 12, 2015 - Flowserve Corporation (NYSE: FLS), a leading provider of
flow control products and services for the global infrastructure markets,
announced today it will introduce the new SIHI KPHX liquid ring compressor at
ACHEMA 2015, June 15-19 in Frankfurt, Germany.
Capable of pressures up to 12 bar, the KPHX also features low noise levels and
reduced vibration running. Locating the bearings and mechanical seals outside
the pump enables the pump to operate with higher reliability while reducing the
need for maintenance.
"This modern compressor design meets customer requirements for a safer, more
efficient liquid ring compressor that reduces the need for service and
maintenance," said Erich Mohrdieck, Vice President, Sales CPI/GI, Flowserve.
"Since the bearings and mechanical seals are arranged outside the pump, they can
easily be replaced without having to dismantle the complete compressor. Special
heavy-duty cranes or tools are not required, and pipework can usually remain
connected to the unit."
The KPHX design has two impellers and uses three-stage compression. The first
impeller is divided into two single-flow chambers enabling the impeller cell
volume to adjust to the required compression ratio. The vanes are curved for
optimum energy transfer and have been designed with an increased hub diameter to
withstand maximum bending loads and inherent frequencies. Any axial loads are
absorbed by oil-lubricated bearings. The bearing clearance is reduced to a
minimum to prevent shafts bending under any operating conditions.
A double-shaft seal design, combined with the method of compression, offers
the user maximum safety when compressing explosive mixtures as well as toxic
and environmentally hazardous media. Any fluids within the gas flow can also be
handled easily by a liquid ring unit.
The compressor is available in materials typically required in more demanding
operating environments. The compressors comply with NACE Standard MR 0103 and
ANSI/NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 on request, making them suitable for use with acid
gases. The compressors also meet API 681 requirements.
