(gas booster)
A: A gas booster increases the pressure of natural gas to ensure efficient transportation through pipelines or equipment. It compensates for pressure drops and maintains system performance.
A: A natural gas filter separator removes contaminants like liquids and particulates from the gas stream. This protects downstream equipment, including gas boosters, from damage and ensures optimal operation.
A: A natural gas heat exchanger regulates gas temperature by transferring heat between fluids. This prevents overheating in compressors like gas boosters and maintains stable process conditions.
A: Yes, gas boosters and heat exchangers often work in tandem. Boosters increase pressure, while exchangers manage temperature, ensuring balanced and energy-efficient gas processing.
A: Maintenance intervals depend on gas quality and usage, but typically include monthly inspections. Regular cleaning prevents clogging and safeguards connected equipment like gas boosters.
