由于对天然气需要的增加,输气用压缩机组又有了新的用途——使更多的天然气通入输气管道。Centaur 3300型燃气轮机有两个特别重要的用途。一是用于船舶,更重要的是,使用燃气轮机驱动离心式压缩机组获得高压缩比。这在过去是用往复式发动机驱动往复式压缩机组来完成。该装置包括 Centaur驱动的串联式三级压缩机,其级数与天然气由低压压缩至高压的压缩过程有关,冷却、压缩、冷却、压缩、冷却等等。 Due to the increased demand for natural gas, the compressor unit for gas transmission has new uses - bringing more gas into the gas pipeline. Centaur 3300 gas turbines have two particularly important uses. The first is for ships, and more importantly, the use of gas turbines to drive centrifugal compressors for high compression ratios. This was done in the past with a reciprocating engine driven reciprocating compressor unit. The unit consists of a Centaur-driven tandem three-stage compressor with stages related to the compression of natural gas from low pressure to high pressure, cooling, compressing, cooling, compressing, cooling and so on.
