Air-Cooled Industrial Compressors (5 to 50 HP)

RIX's non-lubricated air-cooled compressors are available in one to four stages at pressures up to 10,000 psig. These compressors all have distance piece separation of the compression area from the lubricated lower ends to ensure clean gas compression. The 4VX has a force-fed lubrication system for the running gear while the 2V is splash-lubricated. RIX's patented spiral teflon piston rings are used in both designs. Special materials are sometimes used for hydrogen and bone-dry nitrogen compression to high pressures.

The RIX 2V frame can be used for one to three stages of oil-free compression, either to low pressures or for boosting up to pressures as high as 6,000 psig. Splash-lubricated lower end and distance piece separation from compression cylinders.

 

The RIX 4VX four-throw frame can provide up to four stages of compression for hydrogen, nitrogen, CNG, oxygen or other gases. The heavy-duty lower end is force-fed lubricated for very long life. Custom-formed air cooling shrouds provide excellent cooling. A very rugged unit going into demanding situations.
