Compact 10 Screw Gas Ends

When OEM timelines are tight and footprint is limited, the best compressor component is the one that reduces complexity without limiting performance. TMIC Compact 10 is a space‑saving oil‑injected screw gas end designed to streamline packaged system design by integrating key oil management functions directly into the unit.

Built for single‑stage compression with a bare‑shaft, integration‑ready architecture, Compact 10 supports dependable gas handling where simplicity, serviceability, and predictable operation matter as much as output.

Compact 10 is designed to remove common packaging hurdles by incorporating essential oil circuit components on the gas end itself. Instead of designing these elements separately into the skid or enclosure, OEMs can build around a more complete compression core that already includes filtration and temperature control functions.

Because the unit integrates an oil filter, oil separator filter, thermostatic valve, and MPV (minimum pressure valve), the overall package can be cleaner and more repeatable across product variants. The result is a simpler mechanical layout, fewer external interfaces to manage, and a more consistent build process from prototype to production.

Compact 10 is engineered to serve applications where moderate flow and pressure are required in a tight footprint. It covers a 22–55 kW power range and delivers 2.5–5.5 m³/min flow capacity, with a maximum allowable working pressure of 15 barg (220 psig).

This operating range makes Compact 10 a strong fit for OEM systems that need reliable compression performance without stepping into larger frame sizes. It also supports standardized design strategies, allowing OEMs to create repeatable packages while tuning system output through drive selection and operating point optimization.

Gas compression performance is strongly influenced by oil temperature stability and separator behavior, especially in compact packaged systems where thermal conditions can vary. The thermostatic valve supports more consistent operating temperature by managing oil routing based on temperature needs, helping the package stabilize faster and operate more predictably under changing ambient conditions.

The integrated minimum pressure valve plays a different but equally important role. By maintaining adequate internal pressure for effective oil separation and circulation behavior, the MPV supports stable lubrication conditions and helps the system operate smoothly during transitions such as start-up and load changes. Together, these integrated functions help OEMs deliver more consistent end-user performance.

Compact 10 is designed with an integrated gearbox and mechanical seal configuration suited for oil‑injected screw gas compression. This combination supports efficient power transmission, stable operation, and reliable sealing performance within the intended operating range.

For OEMs, the benefit is a gas end that behaves predictably in packaged systems and supports consistent manufacturing outcomes. For end users, it contributes to dependable uptime, especially in installations where the compressor must run steadily over long duty cycles with minimal intervention.

A compact gas end only adds value if it remains practical throughout the product lifecycle. Compact 10’s integration-focused design helps OEMs reduce build time and simplify service access by minimizing external piping and component sprawl. With filtration and separation elements integrated into the core, routine service planning becomes more straightforward for maintenance teams and service partners.

From a commercialization perspective, this supports a more scalable product platform: faster assembly, fewer packaging variations, and a consistent architecture that can be deployed across multiple customer configurations.
