Design Philosophy

The Ro-Flo sliding vane compressor features a one-piece rotor eccentrically mounted inside a water jacketed cylinder. Gas is compressed when it is trapped between vanes, which form compartments that become smaller as the gas moves toward the discharge port. As the volume in the compartments is reduced, the pressure increases until it is equal to the pressure in the discharge port area.

Applications

  • Hydrocarbon gas
  • Vapor recovery
  • Wet sour gas (up to 90% H2S)
  • Acid gas
  • Wellhead casing pressure
  • Refrigeration
  • Condenser vacuum reduction
  • Synthetic fuels production
  • Coal bead methane
  • Landfill gas
  • Digester gas
  • Polymerizing gas
  • Microturbine fuel gas
  • Natural gas
  • Cogeneration

Testing Capabilities

Ro-Flo compressors are engineered and built to give years of reliable, continuous service with no less of volume or pressure, and constant efficiency. To ensure performance and quality of each product, every Ro-Flo compressor we manufacture must pass stringent testing and inspection procedures.
