Working principles
Energy savings compared
Conventional capacity control systems waste energy to recycle valve control
because they either require gas to be compressed
unnecessarily (bypass valves) or cannot accurately
match the required flow rate (stepwise capacity
control, which is also time-consuming to adjust).
HydroCOM, in contrast, offers a wide and stepless
control range, from below 10% (depending on the
application) up to 100%. Delivery rate can be adjusted
continuously and automatically, with no time lag.
Together with the wide turndown, this means you can
operate your compressors more flexibly, cover your
needs with a smaller fleet, react quickly and avoid
overcapacity issues.
