Compressor Case

At Kalyros Engineering LLP, we specialize in the meticulous manufacturing of compressor cases, combining advanced engineering, precision processes, and stringent quality standards. Designed to deliver durability, performance, and efficiency, our compressor cases serve critical applications across multiple industries worldwide. Below, we detail how they are manufactured, tested, and applied.

Detailed Manufacturing Process

The compressor case is produced through a structured, multi-step process at our advanced facility, ensuring precision, durability, and performance:

  • Material Selection and Preparation: High-grade raw materials (cast iron, fabricated steel, stainless steel, or nickel-based alloys like Inconel) are carefully chosen, inspected, and prepared by CNC cutting or plasma tools.
  • Pattern Making and Casting (for Cast Cases): Patterns are created using wood, metal, or 3D-printed molds. Sand molds are formed, molten metal is poured, and cooled castings undergo cleaning and NDT inspections (X-ray/ultrasonic).
  • Fabrication (for Welded Cases): Steel plates are rolled and welded using automated TIG/MIG welding, forming cylindrical sections or horizontally split halves with precision alignment.
  • Machining: CNC machining ensures accurate internal contours, mounting surfaces, and nozzle connections for optimal gas flow and component fit.
  • Heat Treatment: Quenching, tempering, or alloy-specific treatments enhance hardness, toughness, and corrosion resistance, particularly for nickel-based alloys.
  • Assembly and Integration: Nozzles, flanges, and fluid connections are welded or bolted. The horizontally split design allows integration of rotors, bearings, and seals.
  • Surface Treatment and Finishing: Sandblasting, anti-corrosion coatings (epoxy, galvanization), and protective painting ensure durability and aesthetics.
  • Quality Control and Testing: Each case undergoes hydrostatic/pneumatic pressure testing, leak testing, dimensional checks, and NDT to ensure flawless integrity.
  • Final Inspection and Packaging: Compliance with global standards (e.g., API 617) is confirmed before secure packaging for worldwide shipment.

Applications and Uses

  • Refrigeration: Domestic and commercial refrigeration systems, air conditioners.
  • Air Conditioning: HVAC systems for residential, commercial, and industrial facilities.
  • Oil and Gas: Refineries, pipelines, and offshore platforms for gas compression.
  • Petrochemical Processing: Chemical plants handling process gases under high pressure.
  • Power Generation: Gas turbines and auxiliary systems for compressed air and gases.
  • Manufacturing: Pneumatic tools, assembly lines, and factory machinery.
  • Automotive: Turbochargers and superchargers to boost engine performance.
  • Medical Equipment: Ventilators and medical devices requiring compressed air.
  • Food & Beverage Industry: Refrigeration and packaging systems for perishables.

Additional Notes

  • The horizontally split design allows easy maintenance, crucial for systems needing frequent servicing.
  • Customization options are available for specific needs, such as noise reduction in HVAC or corrosion resistance for offshore rigs.
