Hydraulically driven piston compressor for non-corrosive gases
Optimize your gas compression operations with a versatile, hydraulically driven system designed for high-pressure, lubricant-free performance, ensuring minimal maintenance and integration ease into compact spaces.
Compresses and Cools High-Pressure Industrial Gases
The NEA|HOFER TKH, a product of NEUMAN & ESSER, is a hydraulically driven, dry-running piston compressor engineered for high-pressure applications. Featuring a lubricant-free design, it efficiently compresses gases like hydrogen, helium, and argon without the risk of contamination, making it ideal for industrial gas processing and the hydrogen economy.
Operating with a discharge pressure of up to 4,200 bar, its modular, multi-stage construction allows for easy installation in confined spaces, such as containers. The compressor’s ability to operate without lubricants is achieved through specially developed materials for piston packing, ensuring gas purity.
Engineered for versatility, it supports continuous, automatic operation with up to 100% variable speed control, enhancing its integration into diverse processing lines. With robust wear resistance, it guarantees smooth operation and minimal maintenance time, as piston seals can typically be replaced within 10 to 30 minutes.
This compressor also features efficient water-cooling for optimal thermal management and noise reduction, complying with European safety and explosion-proof directives. Options for corrosion-resistant materials are available, accommodating aggressive environments and industrial gases.
For enhanced operational transparency, the compressor is capable of constant leakage rate monitoring and includes optional sensors for gas and oil leak detection, ensuring high reliability and safety standards across its applications.
