The J.A. Becker & Söhne V 245/300 NG16 model is a plug-in, four-stage natural gas booster (Nachverdichter) specifically designed for high-pressure gas transmission tasks. This equipment is excellently suited for industrial applications requiring reliable, high-performance, and efficient compression, especially at critical points in natural gas (NG) processing and transmission.
The V 245/300 NG16 reflects J.A. Becker & Söhne's commitment to quality and durability, avoiding „mass-produced solutions” (NO 08/15 PRODUCTS), and instead offering a premium, long-life system.
This compressor combines state-of-the-art technology with a robust design, ensuring continuous and efficient operation:
Outstandingly Efficient Cooling: The unit's advanced cooling system guarantees optimal operating temperature in every stage. This not only improves gas density but also significantly contributes to increasing the lifespan of the compressor components and optimizing energy consumption.
Fully Automatic Pressure Discharge: The built-in automatic systems ensure the safe and controlled shutdown of the compressor, as well as pressure relief. This minimizes the need for human intervention, increases safety, and simplifies operation.
Long Maintenance Cycles: As a result of high-quality components and precise engineering, the V 245/300 NG16 features long maintenance intervals. This reduces downtime and operating costs, maximizing availability.
Premium Reliability: A first-class product in every respect, guaranteeing continuous and uninterrupted operation even in the most demanding industrial environments.
The specifications of the V 245/300 NG16 meet the requirements for high-performance natural gas boosting:
| Parameter | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Design | Four-stage | For achieving maximum pressure |
| Inlet Pressure (Inlet Pressure) | 8 / 12 / 16 bar | Multiple inlet options for flexibility |
| Volume Flow (Volume Flow) | 2,162 / 3,122 / 4,083 l/min | Throughput capacity adapted to the inlet pressure |
| Maximum Operating Pressure | 300 bar | For high-pressure applications |
| Pressure stages / Number of cylinders | 4 / 4 | |
| Electric Motor Power | 40 kW | |
| Rotational Speed (Rotational Speed) | 1,500 revolutions/minute | |
| Gas type | Natural Gas (NG) |
The compressor's volume flow, adjusted to the inlet pressure, ranges in the following areas:
129.7 m³/h (Corresponds to a flow rate of 2,162 l/min)
245.0 m³/h (Corresponds to a flow rate of 4,083 l/min)
This wide range allows the unit to be finely tuned to specific network requirements.
The V 245/300 NG16 is specifically optimized for natural gas boosting. This process is critical in natural gas networks where the gas needs to be raised to the transmission or storage pressure.
Typical application areas:
Natural Gas Distribution Networks: Increasing the gas pressure before feeding into local distribution networks.
Natural Gas Storage: Supporting gas recovery or compression in storage facilities.
CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) Filling Stations: Compression of gas to the high pressure required for refueling vehicles.
Industrial Processes: Industrial processes that require high-pressure natural gas.
The four-stage design ensures that compression occurs incrementally and in a controlled manner, minimizing heat generation and maximizing mechanical stability up to the final pressure of 300 bar. The 40 kW electric motor drives the system at 1500 revolutions/minute, creating an ideal balance between performance and long-term reliability.
This equipment symbolizes the engineering excellence of J.A. Becker & Söhne, guaranteeing the highest level of performance and safety in natural gas compression technology.
