In recent years, single-phase expanders have become standard equipment in most new liquefaction plants. Used in the pressure let-down section of the process in place of a conventional Joule-Thomson valve, these machines improve process efficiency by up to 5% (even higher with a two-phase expander).
With over expander 100 units since 1997, Ebara’s liquid expanders have been used in APCI, APX, Linde and Shell DMR processes and account for more than 80% of all the cryogenic liquid expanders in our unique industry. Superior performance and reliability is achieved by utilizing the same TEM® and submerged motor/generator technology proven in our line of cryogenic pumps.
