Description
Product Description – DPC-60 Ajax Natural Gas Compressor with 5-1/4″ x 3-3/4″ 2-Stage Compressor Cylinders
(Approx. 300 words)
The DPC-60 Ajax natural gas compressor is a rugged, efficient, and time-tested solution for field gas compression applications. Built for continuous duty in the harshest operating environments, the DPC-60 is engineered for reliability and low maintenance, making it a preferred choice across upstream and midstream operations.
At the heart of the DPC-60 is its robust 2-stage compressor assembly, equipped with 5-1/4″ first-stage and 3-3/4″ second-stage cylinders. This configuration is optimized for high compression ratios, allowing the unit to efficiently compress low-pressure inlet gas to higher discharge pressures while maintaining consistent throughput and minimizing wear. The 2-stage design enhances thermal efficiency and extends component life, particularly in applications with wide pressure differentials.
Driven by Ajax’s signature slow-speed integral engine-compressor design, the DPC-60 reduces operating speeds and vibrations, contributing to quieter performance, longer run times between overhauls, and reduced fuel consumption. With a horsepower rating of approximately 60 HP, it is well-suited for small to mid-range gas gathering systems, vapor recovery units, and other low-volume gas compression duties.
Key features include direct-coupled drive for improved mechanical efficiency, heavy-duty cast-iron construction, splash lubrication system, and easy-access components for simplified field maintenance. The unit is compatible with both natural gas fuel and field gas, making it versatile across various operating conditions.
With decades of field-proven reliability, the Ajax DPC-60 offers a cost-effective and operator-friendly compression solution. Whether deployed in remote locations or integrated into existing gas handling infrastructure, this compressor delivers consistent performance with minimal downtime.
