Benefits
- High-efficiency axial flow compressors designed for high speeds, providing polytropic airflow efficiency exceeding 90%
- The variable stator vane can move from +10° to -35°, enabling a wide operating flow range even with a fixed-speed motor driver
- Standard airfoil configuration for all frames and sizes optimizes aerodynamic and mechanical behaviour up to 7:1 pressure ratio
Features
- AN series for kinetic energy LNG applications can operate with higher pressure flow rates up to 250,000 m³/h with up to 15 stages
- AX series for gas flows over 450,000 m³/h; scalable to any driver size for compressed air, CO₂ separation, nitric acid processes
Applications
- Refinery catalytic cracking
- Turbomachinery
- Air compression
- Sweet/sour gas to liquid application
- Dynamic compressors
- Steam turbines and other industrial applications
Overview
Overview
At Baker Hughes, our AN and AX axial centrifugal compressors are built on decades of design expertise and over a million running hours in high-performance environments. You can rely on these compressors to handle the highest flow rates and rotational speeds while delivering impressive polytropic efficiency, ensuring flexibility for your plant with a fixed-speed driver. Our high-reliability standard configurations are designed to optimize vane, stationary blade, and blade-row performance, even under high-pressure ratios.
