VRC-2 Features
The Arrow VRC-2 gas compressor is a two-throw separable reciprocating gas compressor. The horizontally opposed cylinders are accurately balanced for smooth running and long lasting durability at 1800 RPM.
Unlike many other reciprocating gas compressors, the VRC-2 has a unique three-throw crankshaft configuration that eliminates opposing cylinder off-set and the vibration associated with traditional designs. The absolute alignment of opposing cylinders provides perfectly balanced weight distribution and symmetry. The elimination of vibration associated with horizontal couple inherent with traditional designs, along with state-of-the-art engineering design and rugged construction, make the VRC-2 a truly balanced, high performance, durable compressor specifically designed for continuous operation at high speed. The 1800 RPM speed design, 150 horsepower rating and 14,000 pound combined rod load capability make the VRC-2 a perfect fit for direct coupling with today’s higher speed gas engines.
VRC-2 Packaging
The Arrow VRC-2 can be packaged for single, two, three or four stage applications with double acting and steeple cylinder sizes from 2¼” to 8”. Cylinders are air cooled which reduces packaging and maintenance costs. As a standard feature, cylinders have a variable volume clearance pocket for flexibility and adjustment to allow accurate fits for changing field conditions.
