CEX-300 Cryogenic Expander
Medium-duty expander for LNG and industrial-gas process refrigeration.
A medium-capacity reference expander intended for packaged or cold-box applications where refrigeration duty and cold-end reliability are central design requirements.

REFERENCE CONFIGURATION
Published selection basis
CONFIGURATIONCryogenic expander module
SERVICEClean, dry process gas after upstream treatment
SEALINGApplication-selected dry gas or labyrinth concept
INSTRUMENTATIONTemperature, vibration, speed, pressure
STANDARDS PATHWAY
Applicability must be confirmed
- API 617 project basis

Intended study contexts
LNG peak shavingNitrogen productionOxygen productionNatural gas liquids
CONFIGURATION PRINCIPLES
- Operating envelope reviewed before geometry is frozen
- Mechanical and control configuration defined by project duty
- Inspection, testing, and release records agreed by scope
OPEN ENGINEERING CHECKS
- 01Confirm cold-box and skid interfaces, purge, drainage, and removal path.
- 02Release gas/material compatibility and start-up/shutdown limits.
