ATX / FAMILY SELECTION GUIDE

Axial Turboexpanders

Reference axial-flow platforms for refrigeration and energy-recovery studies. Final aerodynamics, shaftline, bearings, seals, controls, auxiliaries, and guarantees are selected from the approved duty.

SELECTION INPUTS

What engineering needs first

01Complete gas composition and phase condition
02Normal, minimum, maximum, start-up, shutdown, trip, and upset cases
03Inlet and outlet pressure and temperature
04Flow range, turndown, available utilities, and control philosophy
05Package interfaces, hazardous-area basis, inspection, testing, and documentation

VERIFICATION OUTPUTS

What closes the release gate

Thermodynamic calculation and off-design operating map
Rotor-dynamic and lateral/torsional review
Overspeed, vibration, temperature, and trip philosophy
Mechanical run and performance-test scope where contracted
