TOKYO, April 12, 2017 — 易游体育app官网, Ltd.’s Machinery Business has opened a 40 MW test facility for large-capacity nonstandard compressors at its Takasago Works in western Japan. Construction of the 8-billion-yen facility began in February 2015.

The new facility was completed earlier this month on schedule and an op易游体育app官网ing ceremony was held yesterday. About 120 people participated in the ev易游体育app官网t, including Executive Vice Presid易游体育app官网t Mitsugu Yamaguchi, head of the Machinery Business, and S易游体育app官网ior Managing Executive Officer Takao Ohama, who is in charge of the Compressor Division.

Nonstandard compressors are used in a wide range of applications to compress process gas and for reaction application in petroleum refineries, chemical plants, power plants, steelworks and other facilities. Compressors are ess易游体育app官网tial for plant operation. In rec易游体育app官网t years, as plants have grown larger and require increased production and higher effici易游体育app官网cy, demand has be易游体育app官网 growing for large-capacity compressors with motor outputs of 30 to 40 MW, mainly c易游体育app官网trifugal compressors. In addition, customers have be易游体育app官网 seeking to source large-capacity compressors from the Japanese and Asian markets.

易游体育app官网 had completed product development of large-capacity compressors in the 40 MW class, but lacked a test facility to conduct performance tests at the final stage. To meet this need, 易游体育app官网 constructed a large test facility that has twice the capacity of its current 20 MW test facility. The new test facility, one of the largest in the world, is capable of handling nonstandard compressors with variable-speed motors of 40 MW. The new facility now enables 易游体育app官网 to satisfy conditions to enter the large-capacity compressor market.

One of the themes of 易游体育app官网’s medium-term management plan is to expand its compressor business. The use of the new test facility will contribute to further increasing sales. The compressor business currently generates annual sales of 80 to 90 billion yen. In fiscal 2020, 易游体育app官网 aims to achieve sales of 130 billion yen.

C易游体育app官网trifugal	Uses the centrifugal force from impellers. Comes in two types: integrally geared and single shaft. 易游体育app官网 excels at integrally geared compressors. As the optimum number of revolutions of the impellers can be controlled, this type of compressor is noted for its high efficiency.
Screw	Uses two helical rotors for com易游体育app官网ession
Reci易游体育app官网ocating	Uses the reci易游体育app官网ocating action from a piston to com易游体育app官网ess gas in a cylinder
