Heavy duty gas compressors CU

Packing reliable performance into a compact, functional design, our CU oil-lubricated, high-pressure heavy duty gas compressors offer you efficient compression of air, nitrogen, natural gas, hydrogen, helium and other industrial gases.

 

Did you know?

With their low operating temperatures and reduced number of valves, CU heavy-duty compressors drive a lean process. By eliminating packing seal losses, they significantly reduce your gas costs.

Description

Technical description CU high pressure gas compressors

Built for quick installation and minimal maintenance, our CU heavy duty compressors help you get the job done in high-pressure applications, including

  • NGV refueling stations
  • H2 refueling systems
  • bottle filling
  • air-blast circuit breakers

     

Handling all typical industrial gases

Putting decades of industrial gases experience to work for you, we designed the CU high pressure compressors to handle all typical industrial gases, including:

  • air
  • nitrogen
  • helium
  • hydrogen
  • natural gas
  • carbon monoxide
  • carbon dioxide
  • rare gases and gas mixtures

 

Safe and complete

To ensure operator safety and contamination-free handling of industrial gases, CU gas compressors feature pressure-tight crankcases, so gases remain within the compressor and are not contaminated by atmospheric air. We support natural gas vehicle (NGV) refueling stations with complete compressor packages. To achieve the specific inlet pressure for your process, you may also choose from our range of standardized or tailor-made designs. To ensure a robust and durable operation, the CU heavy duty gas compressor uses a reduced number of valves with lower valve temperatures, a crankshaft-driven oil pump and cooling fan, as well as a trunk-piston single-acting compressor design.

 

Decades of experience with refueling stations

For several decades Atlas Copco has built up a strong worldwide reputation in high performance compression systems for refueling stations. Our range of compressors and ancillaries provides you with exceptional reliability, safety and energy savings for the high demands of your CNG refueling stations.

 

Meeting international standards

We comply with the international standards ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHAS 18001. Our production methods employ lean engineering and agile manufacturing, with the goal of supporting you worldwide with the best quality products. This includes ‘0 defect’ certificates for high-pressure safety joints featured in the CU gas compressors
