Type 426 Jet Compressors have automatically-controlled spindles. They are used when pressure, suction, or discharge conditions vary and it is necessary to control discharge pressure or flow. These units are made in 3 thru 24 inch sizes with flanged connections.
The spindle can be operated with a diaphragm, piston, or motor actuator using any standard instrument signal electric or pneumatic. The control can be activated by temperature, pressure, flow or suction to motive gas ratio.
Type 426 Compressor spindles are designed to act as temporary valves and provide right shut-off. For temperatures above 400F, spindle and seat should be hard-faced to resist wear.
These compressors are made in materials to fit operating conditions or as specified by customer. Standard materials are steel body and diffuser with stainless steel nozzle and spindle. Standard flange ratings are 300 lb. but other ratings can be furnished, as required.
