General Specifications – Gemini/GE Compressors
Fueling Stations
The Strauhs CNG fueling stations are compact units,
consisting of a compressor unit installed on a metallic
structure (skid), containing all the elements necessary
for compression, storage and distribution of the gas.
• Direct coupling (without belts)
• Air-gas refrigeration
• Electrical motor drive
• 3 or 4 stage compression
• Explosion-proof and intrinsically safe electrical
installation
• Simple and compact design
• Low maintenance
• High performance and reliability
• Electrical panel controlled by PLC
• Suction and discharge filters assure low levels
of oil in the gas supply
• Sound insulation enclosure and protection against
weather
Compressors
| Gemini compressors are known and respected
throughout the world for their quality and durability.
They are one of the leaders in the market for
gas compression, with more than 10,000 compressors
installed. Designed to attend to the most varied
applications, the Gemini alternative compressors
are available in the widest range of power settings,
flows and suction and discharge pressures.
• Horizontal alternative compressors, for
up to 4 stages of compression;
• High resistance structure designed for
the highest loads and to guarantee a long useful
life;
• Balanced compressor cylinders minimize
vibration;
• Reliable and of simple maintenance, making
for very low service down time;
• Designed for heavy and continuous operations,
the compressors are all tested before leaving
the factory. |
 |
Storage Cylinders
| Consist of a set
of interconnected cylinders mounted on a metallic
structure.
• Various sizes and configurations
available
• Certified cylinders
• Safety valve
• Pressure Gauge
• Excess flow valves
• Hydrostatically tested to 375 barg |
 |
Control
Panel
| Consists of a
steel panel for installation in a non-risk area
containing all the elements for the control, monitoring
and safety of all the compressor functions.
• Programmable Logic Control (PLC)
• Optional remote communication via modem
• Motor action by "soft-starter"
• Explosion-proof and intrinsically safe
electrical installation
• Auto-monitoring of safety of all compressor
functions
• Indication on PLC display of compressor
operation and
alarm messages |
 |
Sound
and Weather Protection Enclosure
| The enclosures
provide protection against the weather and attenuate
the noise generated by the compressor, maintaining
them within the limits suitable for installation
in urban areas.
• Sound insulation
• Weather protection
• Built in high resistance steel structure
• External instruments panel
• Doors on all sides for ease of maintenance
• Gas detector at one point with alarm (optional)
• Lifting rings
• Adequate internal space to carry out maintenance
• Internal explosion-proof lighting |

Compressors
| The Hurricane
compressors are manufactured in North-America,
designed to work exclusively with CNG. They supply
flows of up to 127 Nm3/h, and are ideal for supplying
fork-lift trucks or for fleets of vehicles. They
operate with low suction pressures of up to 0.9
barg, and are thus the ideal choice for use in
factories, where the pressures available are generally
of this order. Hundreds of units are in operation
in the USA.
• 4 stage compression;
• Belt drive;
• Lubricated cylinders;
• Flow of 127 Nm3/h with 0.9 bar of suction;
Discharge pressure of up to 310 bar;
• High resistance structure designed to resist
the highest loads and to guarantee a long useful
life;
• Low level of vibration and noise;
• Reliable and of simple maintenance, with
very low down service time;
• Designed for heavy and continuous operations,
the compressors are all tested before leaving
the factory. |

Control
Panel
The control panel is based
on a PLC, mounted on the skid, or at a distance, which
controls and monitors the functioning of the compressor.
The system detects, indicates and shuts down the compressor
when abnormal conditions occur, such as low oil pressure,
high discharge temperature, low and high suction pressure,
high discharge pressure etc. Installation is explosion-proof
and intrinsically safe.
Sound and Weather
Protection Enclosure
| The cabins provide protection
against the weather and attenuate the noise generated
by the compressor, maintaining them within the
limits suitable for installation in urban areas.
• Sound insulation
• Weather protection
• Built in high resistance steel structure
• External instruments panel
• Gas detector at one point with alarm (optional)
• Lifting rings |
