The J.A. Becker & Söhne V 5790/300 NG3.5 model is a skid-mounted, four-stage natural gas booster compressor specifically designed for pressure boosting at critical points in the gas supply chain. This equipment is ideally suited for industrial and commercial applications requiring reliable, high-pressure natural gas supply, especially in the final sections of gas networks.
The V 5790/300 NG3.5 compressor reflects J.A. Becker & Söhne's commitment to quality, efficiency, and long service life, ensuring continuous and stable operation even under the most demanding conditions.
This compressor is not an „off-the-shelf product”; it is the result of J.A. Becker & Söhne engineering precision, featuring several outstanding properties:
High-Efficiency Cooling: The unit is equipped with an advanced cooling system that minimizes temperature increases generated during compression. This not only keeps the gas quality (dew point) at an optimal level but also significantly contributes to increasing the service life of the compressor components and maximizing energy efficiency.
Fully Automatic Unloading (Blow-off/Depressurization): The fully automated blow-off function ensures that the compressor automatically vents pressurized sections between cycles or during shutdown. This simplifies startup, reduces mechanical stress, and increases safety.
Long Maintenance Cycles: As a result of robust construction and high-quality components, the V 5790/300 NG3.5 compressor features extremely long maintenance intervals. This reduces downtime and optimizes operating costs (OPEX).
Reliability: The four-stage design ensures gradual pressure increase, which is gentle on the mechanics and guarantees the stable achievement of the maximum operating pressure of 300 bar.
The performance and parameters of the V 5790/300 NG3.5 compressor are detailed in the following table:
| Parameter | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Model | V 5790/300 NG3.5 | Natural Gas Booster Compressor |
| Number of Stages / Cylinder Arrangement | 4 / 4 | Four-stage compression |
| Maximum Operating Pressure | 300 bar | For high-pressure applications |
| Inlet Pressure (Inlet Pressure) | 1.5 / 3 / 3.5 bar | For variable inlet conditions |
| Volume Flow (Volume Flow) | 1,100 / 1,671 / 1,950 l/min | Capacity adapted to inlet pressure |
| Flow Rate (m³/h) | 66.0 – 117.0 m³/h | Converted Capacity |
| Electric Motor Power | 30 kW | Drive Unit |
| Speed (Speed) | 1,500 RPM | Standard operating speed |
The volume flow (l/min) as a function of the inlet pressure:
At 1.5 bar inlet pressure: 1,100 l/min
At 3.0 bar inlet pressure: 1,671 l/min
At 3.5 bar inlet pressure: 1,950 l/min
This flexibility makes the V 5790/300 NG3.5 model ideal for systems where the inlet gas pressure may fluctuate, but the output pressure of 300 bar must be maintained constantly.
The V 5790/300 NG3.5 compressor primarily serves for post-compression of natural gas (NG), especially in the following areas:
Gas Distribution Networks: Increasing the pressure of local distribution networks towards end-users, especially in cases of high consumption.
Refueling Infrastructure: Supplying high-pressure natural gas (CNG) vehicle refueling stations, where the compressor builds up high pressure from the network pressure.
Industrial Processes: Manufacturing processes requiring high-pressure natural gas (e.g., special furnaces, reactors).
Filling Gas Storage Tanks: Increasing the pressure of small and medium-sized storage capacities.
J.A. Becker & Söhne products follow German engineering traditions, ensuring that the V 5790/300 NG3,5 compressor is first-class not only in performance but also in durability. The robust design guarantees long-term, trouble-free operation, minimizing the risk of unexpected failures.
Detailed product information and technical datasheets are available for this equipment for further detailed study. This compressor is the perfect symbiosis of reliability and performance in the field of high-pressure natural gas handling.
