Water-Cooled Industrial Compressors (35 to 500 HP)

RIX's water-cooled compressors come in a variety of non-lube configurations for hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, air, and other gases. Most of these designs are vertical and very compact, and they run very slow. This slow running, along with the excellent water cooling, make these very long-lived compressors with low maintenance requirements. That's why they are used so often in critical situations at air separation plants, on Navy ships, at refineries, and in process plants. Extra-long distance piece separation and vented/purged gas packings ensure clean gas at the discharge.

Our 3KX is a three or four-stage boost to higher pressures. Design can accommodate dangerous gases. Used to capture boil-off and compress high-purity gases.   Our 2JS is a very versatile frame. Low pressure and high flows or high pressures with low flows. Many U.S. Navy and industrial O2 units in service, as well as refinery applications.
   
 
     
Our 3J is usually designed for higher pressures (to 7,000 psig) in three or four stages. Used for argon, helium, oxygen and other gases. Smooth running and stout.

 
  Our 2DS3 is a high flow unit with large cylinders. Mostly 1-3 stages to moderate pressures for oxygen, itrogen and hydrogen.
