General Information
What is a Corken LPG Compressor?
Corken LPG gas compressors are part of the reciprocating compressor LPG/NH3 Compressors
family. Reciprocating compressors pull vapor into a cylinder through a Reciprocating
suction valve by drawing back a piston to create a low pressure area in
the cylinder. They pressurize the gas by pushing the piston back up into Piston type
the cylinder to squeeze the gas out through the discharge valve. Figure Single packed
1, page 4 shows a cutaway view of an LPG gas compressor.
High reliability
A compressor valve consists of four parts: a seat, bumper, disc and spring.
The spring rests against a bumper and pushes the disc against the seat. Easy maintenance
The disc seals off the flow passage through the seat. If more pressure Vertical and horizontal machines
builds up on the seat side than the bumper side, the disc will be forced
away from the seat and gas will flow through the valve, see figure 2, Single and double acting compression
page 6. The suction valves are also equipped with a small ball and spring Bulk transfer
relief valve which is designed to relieve any condensation that takes
place within the compressor cylinder. The liquid relief valve is not Liquid transfer vapor recovery
intended to relieve liquid that enters the cylinder through the suction Flow range: 4 (6.8) – 414 cfm (703.5 m3/hr)
valve. This liquid would be handled by a liquid trap.
Driver range: 7.5 (5.6) –75 hp (55 kW)
In order for compression to take place, the piston must be sealed against
the cylinder wall. This seal is made with several piston rings. Since LPG Connections: NPT or 300# ANSI
compressors must not be contaiminated by lubricating oils, the piston
ring must be made of a self lubricating material. Corken standard piston rings are made of glass-filled Teflon®1. Gas pressure in
the cylinder is used to press the piston rings against the cylinder wall, see figure 3, page 6. Ring expanders are used to push the
rings towards the cylinder wall so high pressure gas may flow behind the rings.
Piston rings form a good dynamic seal but they are not tight enough to seal all the pressure and gas inside the cylinder; an
additional seal is required to do this. This seal is the piston rod packing. The piston rod packing is a seal that is located at the
bottom of the cylinder. It is composed of several parts, the most important being the self-lubricating Teflon®1 V-rings that tightly
seal against the piston rod. A spring is included in the packing assembly which allows a slight amount of “float” to reduce friction.
The rod packing also seals oil in the crancase out of the compression chamber to prevent contamination of the gas.
Corken standard LPG and NH3 comrpessors contain one set of piston rod packing per rod. The compressor line is sometimes
refered to as single packed or plain style. One set of packing controls leakage and oil contamination of the vapor to a satisfactory
level for most commercial LPG/NH3 applications. When leakage and contamination must be held to an absolute minimum, two or
three packings sets separated by a distance piece may be utilized. See our I-Series Industrial Compressor sales brochure (Item
I100) for more information on these double (D-style) and tripple (T-style) packed gas compressors.
The crankcase, connecting rod and crosshead, convert rotary motion from the motor to reciprocating motion at the pistion. All
Corken compressors, except the model 91, use an oil pump to pressure lubricate the bearings and wrist pins to assure long service
life. The oil pump is a gear type that may be run in either direction; for this reason Corken compressors may be run in
either direction.

Corken valves offer quiet operation and
high durability in oil-free gas
applications. Specially designed suction
valves which tolerate small amounts of
condensate are available.
Ductile-iron construction:
All cylinders and heads are ductile iron
for maximum thermal shock endurance.
Cast-iron crosshead:
Durable cast-iron crossheads provide superior
resistance to corrosion and galling.

General Information
Markets Served by Corken LPG Compressors
Corken LPG gas compressors are designed for use in liquid tranfer, vapor recovery, scavenger applications, tank evaucations and
portable applications for the LPG and agricultural ammonia industries. Whether it is gas recovery from cylinders or barge unloading,
Corken has a compressor for your application. Our compressors are also used in many industrial applications with a few
modifications to the compressor packing arangement. Contact the factory for information on moving gases other than
LPG and NH3.
Liquid Transfer/Vapor Recovery
The most flexible method for moving liquid propane, butane and ammonia is with a compressor, a device designed to handle
vapor and vapor only. How is this done? Any fluid, vapor or gas, may be moved by creating a different pressure between two
points. A compressor may be used to create a pressure difference between the vapor spaces of two tanks. If the liquid spaces of the
two tanks are connected, the pressure difference exerted by the vapor will cause the liquid to begin flowing from the higher
pressure tank to the lower pressure tank (see figure 4, page 7).
Changes in internal pressure of a propane tank will result in condensation and boiling. Condensation and boiling will tend to
negate the pressure difference created by the compressor. Liquid transfer using a compressor works because vapor may be moved
more quickly that it boils off and condenses. The flow rate induced will equal the volume of gas discharged from the compressor
if a large enough compressor is chosen to make the effect of boiling and condensation negligible. The pressure increase through
the compressor will equal the pressure decrease due to friction in the liquid piping. Years of experience have shown that piping
designed to create a pressure drop of 30 psi or less works best. Higher pressure drops result in more condensation and boiling and
reduce the flow rates due to reduced discharge volume.
Compressors may also be used to evacuate tanks. High pressure propane vapor in a large tank has substantial economic value that
makes it worth recovering. Tanks that must be unloaded through a dip tube (such as most railcars) leave a small liquid heel in the
tank when liquid transfer is complete. A compressor can be used to reduce the pressure in the tank to boil the heel into recoverable
vapor. The vapor recondenses when it is fed into the liquid section of another propane tank (see figure 5, page 7).
Corken LPG transfer compressors are the standard of the industry. Models 91, 291 and 491 are popular for truck and small railcar
unloading. The model 691 is suitable for unloading large railcars. Corken horizontal compressors and the vertical double-acting
D891 compressor are used for unloading barges or several railcars at a time.
