Reciprocating compressor includes option of a unit without oil separator

Numerous valuable updates have been implemented in the SMC compressor, including the option of a unit without oil separator, providing smaller footprint and a lower unit cost.



The main specifications of the SMC Mk 5 are:

* Extended service life over the entire operating range (+25%)

* Load-based service option, providing further extension of service life

* Configuration without oil separator, meaning a smaller footprint at a lower cost

* 20% capacity boost achieved by changing the shaft speed from 1500 rpm to 1800 rpm

* Optimised for variable speed with single-beam design, offering skip-free regulation over the entire speed range

* No demand for top cover cooling under the most common conditions.

The SABROE SMC Mk 5 sets new market standards for reciprocating compressors in terms of length of service intervals, efficiency and reliability.

The improvements are not limited to the SMC compressors, but also apply to the rest of the portfolio, so all the renowned SABROE recips will reap the benefits of the Mk 5 upgrade.

Variable-speed advantages

All SMC Mk 5 compressors can be fitted with variable-speed drive (VSD) as standard. VSD ensures exceptional performance with maximum energy efficiency, even under part load conditions and changing operating requirements.

The skip-free speed regulation offers a huge capacity area from 100-28%, without any efficiency loss, and ensures that performance and operating costs are optimised at all times.
