Description
C42 Ajax Natural Gas Compressor with 5″ x 3-3/4″ Two-Stage Cylinders
The C42 Ajax natural gas compressor is a robust, field-proven solution designed for continuous, unattended gas compression in remote or demanding environments. This model features rugged two-stage cylinders with 5″ and 3-3/4″ bores, engineered specifically to handle varying suction and discharge pressures with maximum efficiency and durability.
Built on Ajax’s long-standing reputation for reliability, the C42 delivers consistent performance with minimal maintenance. Its two-stage compression system allows for improved gas throughput and higher compression ratios, making it ideal for low-pressure gas gathering, vapor recovery, or boosting applications in oil and gas fields. With a simple yet powerful design, this compressor is mechanically driven and designed for slow-speed operation, which reduces wear and tear on internal components and extends equipment life.
The compressor’s integrated power cylinder and compressor frame minimize the number of moving parts, resulting in lower vibration and quieter operation compared to more complex compressor systems. Operators benefit from a straightforward, no-frills layout that simplifies servicing and reduces downtime. Additionally, the Ajax C42 is designed to run continuously under harsh field conditions, making it a go-to choice for remote installations where reliability is critical.
The C42 compressor is compatible with natural gas engine fuel and is commonly paired with skid-mounted packages for flexible field deployment. Its proven two-stage cylinder configuration enhances performance across a broad range of pressures while maintaining fuel efficiency and emission compliance.
Whether you’re expanding production in a mature field or installing compression in a new well pad, the C42 Ajax with 5″ x 3-3/4″ cylinders delivers dependable compression you can count on—day in and day out.
