Selection of compressor motor
Thread Content
What type is commonly chosen for 2500kw compressor motors? Synchronous or asynchronous? What are the main considerations when making a choice?
It’s not clear whether it is a reciprocating compressor or a centrifugal compressor; for reciprocating compressors, synchronous motors can be used for those with a capacity of over 1000 kW, as synchronous motors offer higher efficiency at low speeds and thus save more electricity.
