2024: A year of blooming flowers and joy – Happy Forum **********************【Ten Years of Progress in Chemical Processing Equipment】Ongoing updates and summaries available; feel free to join the discussions at https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html (Source: Haichuan Chemical Engineering Forum) ***************** Recently, the large-scale high-load centrifugal compressors for LNG ships, developed independently by China Shipbuilding Research Institute 711, successfully completed their low-temperature operation tests under the supervision of representatives from CCS’ headquarters, Shanghai office, Nanjing office, and Dalian office – achieving complete success. This is the first time in China that low-temperature operation tests on large-scale, high-load centrifugal compressors have been carried out. During the test, the compressor inlet was maintained at -140°C to -150°C, and it operated at low speed continuously for 30 minutes. Seven – It is affiliated with China State Shipbuilding Corporation. It has evolved into a comprehensive power research and development institution as well as a high-tech enterprise group that focuses on diesel engines, heat engines, and related power systems as its core specialties. Its strategic industries include power system solutions and related products, electrical and automation technologies, energy equipment and engineering, as well as environmental protection equipment and engineering. It serves more than 20 industries and fields such as machinery, petrochemicals, energy, and transportation. To date, it has successfully developed a range of cryogenic gas compressors for the LNG sector, including high-load (HD) compressors, low-load (LD) compressors, and regasification expansion recompressors, providing suitable compression solutions for natural gas production, storage, transportation, and utilization facilities around the world.
