Ain't She Purdy

The company I work for has a niche in a small market for gas production systems. We often have to fit our equipment into available spacing, which requires a lot of custom work. Not only does the equipment have to function properly it must also be visually appealing. LOL This is the main portion of a nitrox production unit. The l.p. air supply unit is in a different location. The compressor is a custom vertical, using a Mariner II block that has been adapted for water cooling.

This particular unit has a 380v, 3 phase, 50Hz supply for the compressor and 220v, single phase, 50Hz for other components. There is a frequency drive that allows us to vary the compressor speed when pumping 32% or 36%. There is a cascade for 32% and 36% is direct filled (as per customers choice). The storage is 4500 psi bottles (444 cuft) set up in three banks. We rate the compressor out put at 7.5 scfm for 32% and 6 scfm for 36%. Shut down is set for 4500psi.

As far as price, let's just say it's pretty hefty and that is the reason why we have a small niche market. We have to jump through some serious hoops for compliance with that markets standards which has to be figured in to the mix.

Dang!!

You took an ugly ol' Mariner II and put it in a real pretty box and then made custom water cooling for the thing!?!

You got way too much free time!!

Very nice job Craig!
