Custom Compressor Design and Custom Compressor Packaging

At RIX Industries we pride ourselves on knowing how compressors can be customized to meet specific customer requirements, and we welcome the challenge of difficult applications. We work with OEM’s to design compressors that precisely fit their requirements. These custom compressors and custom compressor packages can be one-off or designed for production. A few examples of what we have done include our cryogenic hydrogen compressor for capturing boil-off hydrogen and filling tube trailers, our undercarriage vehicle compressor for opening the doors of a Humvee and our small oxygen compressor for filling oxygen cylinders to 200 barg.

RIX has built hundreds of custom compressor packages for industrial customers for gases like hydrogen, oxygen, helium, argon, and ethylene.

Some of the many aspects of custom compressor design that RIX investigates in our designs include:

· Unusual gas compositions

· Hazardous gases

· Specific inlet pressures and discharge pressures

· Tight space requirements

· Package integration for OEM’s

· Special materials

· Temperature limitations

· Special packaging—instrumentation; monitoring

· Shock, vibe, EMI

· US Mil-Standards
