Many reciprocating compressors need to deliver less than their rated capacity for much or all of the time. Traditionally, this requires excess compressed gas to be returned to the suction side via a recycle valve. The energy used to compress this recycled gas is wasted. HOERBIGER’s eHydroCOM is the most compact and all-electric stepless volume control system available today for reciprocating compressors. The 100 % oilfree and fully standardized system is the ideal way to achieve stable capacity control of dynamic processes. The eHydroCOM continuously adjusts the compressor’s delivery rate to match the amount required by the downstream process.
