Airmax Compressor Train Modularization: MAN reduces size, cost of ASU compressor train systems with new blading

摘要

The Max1 axial flow compressor blading was jointly developed by MAN Diesel & Turbo and MTU Aero Engines so as to combine the advanced design techniques used in the aero-engine field with the ruggedness needed for industrial machines. MAN is a suppliers of compressors for Air Separation Units (ASUs), which are constantly growing bigger to cover the needs of larger gas-to-liquids, coal-to-chemicals, carbon capture and storage, and other projects (see COMPRESSORtech~2, August-September 2010, p. 28).
