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.
