With Reciprocating Compressor:
- Lower power consumption (compared to one large compressor) when the required duty is
less than full load conditions
- Takes full advantage of lower power consumption when ambient temperature falls below
initial design criteria.
- Provide more accurate control of storage temperatures and direct product temperatures
(suitable for critical storage conditions)
- Greater plant reliability through multiple compressor operation
- Inbuilt security backup can easily be achieved
- Plant can be designed to meet additional production growth without over sizing for current
load demands.
