M3 HYDRAULIC CASING GAS COMPRESSOR
The following is some preliminary information on the M3 HYDRAULIC CASING GAS COMPRESSOR (M3).
These compressors are single stage, double acting, non lubricated gas compressors that are driven off the hydraulics from an electric motor skid.
Cream Compression Ltd manufactures M3 compressors in 3 different bore sizes (6āā, 8āā and 10āā diameter) with a 36″ stroke length.
We have manufactured compressors as large as 10āā bore x 60āā stroke for higher volume, low pressure applications.
The compressor can be single acted, by removing the internals from one of the suction valves, to fit lower volume applications.
The M3 is designed to working pressures much higher than the actual discharge pressures they are typically installed to compress into.
This design is intended to provide a very rugged, dependable, compressor for longevity and reliable operation.
Generally speaking the M3 is limited to a maximum working pressure as determined by
- The MAWP of the hoses selected for installation to the well head
- The set pressure of the discharge relief valve.
For preliminary sizing purposes we consider a couple of āārules of thumbāā to help determine the size of compressor that can be considered.
- Compression ratio
- 6āā bore compressors:Ā Ā Ā Ā 5:1 ratio
- 8āā bore compressors:Ā Ā Ā Ā 4:1 ratio
- 10āā bore compressors:Ā Ā 3:1 ratio
