Successful factory acceptance of the 5,100 kW high-power centrifugal steam compressor from Turbovap.

Recently, a company in Hainan dispatched its technical personnel to our facility to conduct factory acceptance testing of the contract‑specified equipment: two three‑stage tandem steam‑boosting compressor units with operating pressures ranging from 0.25 MPa (g) to 1.3 MPa (g) and a total installed capacity of 5,100 kW. In accordance with the compressor acceptance criteria, we performed both no‑load idling tests and loaded steam‑circulation tests. The acceptance inspection was passed on the first attempt, confirming that the equipment meets all requirements for shipment and will soon be delivered for commissioning.

Recently, a company in Hainan dispatched its technical personnel to our company to inspect the contract’s subject matter: two three-stage series‑connected units, with pressure… 0.25 MPa (A) to 1.3 MPa (A), a steam‑boosting compressor unit with an installed capacity of 5,100 kW underwent factory trial operation and acceptance testing. In accordance with the compressor acceptance criteria, our company conducted no‑load trial runs and steam‑assisted loaded test runs. The equipment passed inspection on the first attempt, meets all delivery requirements, and will soon be handed over for commissioning.

This compressor employs three-stage compression, with a maximum pressure ratio reaching 5.3, cases of steam‑compressor boosting using similar‑type components remain virtually nonexistent in China. From the outset of the design process, our company, in close alignment with the owner’s actual requirements and drawing on the operational performance of our existing boosting installations, conducted thorough technical evaluations tailored to the project’s high pressure and high pressure ratio. Based on these analyses, we developed a detailed design approach and introduced innovative solutions for the oil circuit, sealing system, and assembly procedures, ensuring that the unit meets the design specifications and operates reliably under normal service conditions.

  Turbovap has maintained rigorous quality control throughout the entire process—starting from material selection and design, through the manufacturing of critical components such as the volute, impeller, and gearbox, to the meticulous oversight of testing procedures including overspeed tests, dynamic balancing, and full‑machine operation—ensuring on‑time delivery. During commissioning, all performance indicators and technical parameters met or exceeded superior standards, with vibration levels under full‑speed operation remaining below 15 μm.
