Abstract (en)

An integrally-geared compressor including a bull gear (12), and at least two pinions (13,14,15) able to be driven by the bull gear, at least three compressor wheels, one of the pinions being connected to at least one compressor wheel and the other pinion being connected to two compressor wheels, wherein the compressor corresponds to a given predetermined compressor size, selected from a plurality of different standard sizes (A, B, C, D, E), each standard size being capable of producing output flowrates over a defined range at an output pressure over a defined range, wherein certain elements of the compressor correspond either to a single predetermined element size or one of only two predetermined element sizes, the predetermined element size or sizes being fixed for each compressor size and the certain elements being the bullgear, the first pinion (13,14), the first pinion shaft (18), the second pinion (14,15) and the second pinion shaft (18),. the gear case and at least one volute (20). Method for building an integrally geared centrifugal compressor to produce compressed gas at a given outlet flowrate and a given outlet pressure
