ARIEL JGC & JGD Gas Compressor

These large, medium speed reciprocating separable compressors were designed to pair with electric motors and natural gas engines recently available for  compression units (packages) and are already proven as one of the most cost effective methods of compression for pipeline transmission, power generation, refrigeration, processing and all other applications requiring large horsepower drivers and compression capacity.

Cylinders, specifically for pipeline transmission (CL & DL) are available, as well as a full range of cylinders for all other applications. The demand for the JGC and JGD has remained very strong since their introduction to the gas transmission market . As with all Ariel compressors, regular, minimal maintenance insures a lifetime of continuous, trouble-free operation.

The long standing basis of Ariel's successful design philosophy is research showing that modern, moderate and high speed compressor cylinders do not require internal water cooling passages. The absence of water jackets results in larger gas passages, reducing pressure-drop losses and yielding the high efficiency Ariel cylinder for the same sized cylinder casting. The proven design of the Ariel cylinder eliminates the cost of the cylinder cooling system and the major maintenance problems associated with water cooling, such as scaling and corrosion.

Most Ariel cylinders are ion-nitrided, increasing surface hardness and reducing cylinder bore wear to an absolute minimum. Ariel cylinders, combined with the innovative design of every Ariel frame, have earned Ariel the reputation for the lowest operating and maintenance costs of any gas compressor available today.
