Q-Drive with exposed Gas Section
Gas Section
Each gas section boosts the inlet pressure independently through a common gas inlet.
The Compression Ratio (Cr) is the ratio of Outlet Pressure to Inlet Pressure. The maximum
Compression Ratio for the Q-Drive system is 5. Higher Cr increases the gas temperature, but
contribute to early failure of Piston Seals. Piston Seals are also affected by the Cycle Rate, the purity
of the gas, and the type of operation.
Tie Rods hold the components of the Gas Section together. These Tie Rods must be tightened to the
proper torque. Each Cooling Jacket has a label that shows the tightening pattern and required torque
for each tie rod.
