Safety first. Prevention first – let’s give praise and support to the achievements in China’s chemical engineering technology and equipment. **********************【Ten Years of Great Development in Chemical Engineering Equipment】A continuously updated summary post; feel free to join the discussions at https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html (Source: Haichuan Chemical Engineering Forum) ***************** The full name of a pipeline motor is a natural gas pipeline compressor drive motor, which is widely used in the transportation of natural gas through main pipelines; it serves as the main electric motor for driving the compressors in such pipelines. At the current stage, natural gas main pipelines require a compression station consisting of 2 to 4 compressors every 150 to 170 km, in order to maintain high pressure and large flow rates for transportation. Pipeline motors can increase the gas delivery volume and pressure as the motor power and speed rise, thereby enabling gas transmission over longer distances. This reduces the need for compressor stations, lowers construction and maintenance costs, and improves the stability of gas transmission. Therefore, large-capacity, high-power, high-speed pipeline motors are particularly suitable for environments with harsh conditions and situations where an increased gas transmission distance is required for special reasons. On June 25, 2024, China’s first 24MW 6000r/min pipeline motor was successfully tested for type approval at Dongfang Electric Corporation. This marks Dongfang Electric’s successful development of the country’s first 24MW 6000r/min pipeline motor, a gift presented on the occasion of the Party’s 98th anniversary. This motor was entirely designed and manufactured by Dongfang Electric using its own R&D technologies, possessing full independent intellectual property rights; it represents another significant achievement in Dongfang Electric’s technological R&D efforts. The data from the tests show that the pipeline motor developed by Dongfang Electric boasts advantages over similar motors available domestically and internationally, including higher power, higher speed, better efficiency, less vibration, and a wider operating range. It reaches a level that is leading in China and advanced on the international stage, indicating that Dongfang Electric’s motor research, development, and manufacturing have reached a new height.
