Overview
This page covers reciprocating ammonia compressor packages in refrigeration and industrial process service, where the emphasis falls on continuous duty, oil management and safe handling.
Ammonia refrigeration compressors run long hours at stable load, so reliability comes from conservative piston speed, correct ring and packing material, clean oil management and a well-designed cooling system. In process service the same machine may see varying suction conditions and part-load operation, and the capacity control scheme must be validated across the whole range rather than only at the design point.
TUKE ENERGY builds these packages with copper-free wetted components, sealing and lubrication matched to ammonia, suction and discharge separators, oil cooling and filtration, and a protection scheme covering high discharge temperature and pressure, oil pressure and temperature, and ammonia detection with ventilation interlock for enclosed installations.
Each unit is dimensioned against the actual duty: evaporating and condensing conditions or process suction and discharge pressures, required capacity, ambient and cooling conditions, and the applicable safety framework. Packages are supplied skid-mounted with full instrumentation and PLC control, and can be containerised where the site requires it.
Typical applications
- Ammonia process and refrigeration duty in chemical and fertiliser plants
- Ammonia recovery and transfer service
- Cold-storage and industrial refrigeration installations
Key features
Copper-free wetted materials throughout
Designed for continuous refrigeration duty and for process gas service
Conservative piston speed and correctly matched ring and packing materials
Oil management, cooling and filtration designed for the duty cycle
Suction and discharge separators with drain and level monitoring
Protection: high discharge temperature and pressure, oil pressure and temperature, ammonia detection and ventilation interlock
Capacity control validated across the full operating range, not only at the design point
Skid-mounted or containerised package with PLC / HMI control
Technical specifications
- Media: anhydrous ammonia (NH3)
- Service: refrigeration duty and industrial process duty
- Suction and discharge pressure: project specific
- Materials: copper-free wetted components; sealing and lubrication matched to ammonia
Selection and design notes
Materials, sealing and lubrication are selected for ammonia rather than adapted from a hydrocarbon design, and the allowable discharge temperature is respected across the whole operating range.
Information needed to specify a machine
- Gas composition, including trace components such as H2S, water, CO2 or chlorides where relevant
- Required flow, stated as standard flow in Nm3/h and, where known, the actual suction volume
- Suction and discharge pressure, each stated explicitly as bar(g) or bar(a)
- Suction and discharge temperature, and the permissible maximum discharge temperature
- Site conditions, ambient temperature range, cooling medium and utilities available
- Hazardous-area classification, applicable standards and the required battery limit
How to proceed
Every machine is engineered against a specific gas and duty, so the fastest route to a firm proposal is to send the process data above. Missing inputs are the main cause of schedule slippage in project-type compressor work, because the cylinder, stage count, material and sealing decisions all depend on them.
