TURBO-AIR® 20000 Centrifugal Air & Gas Compressor

The Ingersoll Rand TURBO-AIR 20000 is a specially designed centrifugal compressor tailored to meet the unique requirements of each customer across a wide range of applications. It excels in multi-stage, dual-process operations. It offers oil-free air, preventing contamination, reducing fire risks, and eliminating maintenance costs associated with oil separation and disposal. The TURBO-AIR 20000 compressor is versatile, supporting a wide range of applications, including. industrial gas, and process air applications.

Oil-Free Air

  • Avoids system contamination

  • Minimizes the risk of compressed air pipeline fires due to oil carryover

  • Eliminates the need for costly disposal of oil-laden condensate

  • Reduces expenses and maintenance associated with oil separation filters at the discharge

High Reliability

TURBO-AIR® 20000 centrifugal compressors are engineered for exceptional reliability, thanks to:

  • Robust, high-quality gear design

  • Durable pinion bearings built for longevity

  • Efficient absorption of thrust loads at low speeds

  • Stainless steel compression components for enhanced performance

Low Compressor Operating Life Cycle Cost

TURBO-AIR® centrifugal compressors deliver superior overall operating efficiency compared to positive displacement and other centrifugal compressors, offering:

  • Outstanding efficiency across full load, part load, and no-load conditions

  • Reduced maintenance costs

  • Enhanced uptime due to a high-reliability design, minimizing the need for multiple units solely for reliability purposes

  • A wear-free compression process with no sliding or rubbing parts, ensuring sustained efficiency over time

Easy Operation and Maintenance

  • Advanced MAESTRO control systems for cutting-edge performance

  • Fully automated operation adaptable to any process conditions

  • Integrated machine self-diagnostics for proactive monitoring

  • Durable compression elements that eliminate wear and periodic replacement

  • Horizontally split gearbox designed for quick and convenient inspections

  • Intercooler and aftercooler bundles designed for easy removal and cleaning

Simple Installation

  • Integrated design featuring the compressor, lubrication system, intercoolers, shaft coupling, coupling guard, interconnecting piping, and more, all mounted on a common base

  • Simplified installation with no need for specialized foundations

  • Convenient access to components for maintenance and inspection

  • Flexible site connection points to accommodate various layouts

  • Compact design requiring minimal floor space

  • Pulsation-free dynamic compression process, eliminating the need for additional dampening equipment

Centrifugal Air Applications:

  • Industrial gases

  • Process Air

  • Instrument air

TURBO-AIR centrifugal compressors are exceptional design.

  • One, two or three rotors, up to six stages per gearbox

  • Horizontal splitline(s) for easy access to parts

GAS FLOW ARRANGEMENT

MSG® TURBO-AIR centrifugal compressors are designed with an innovative arrangement of gas flow components, offering key advantages:

  • Directed gas movement to reduce turbulence induced friction

  • Air is cooled after every stage to provide high isothermal efficiency
