Case #: 29
Situation:
The existing cylinders on large integral angle engines, were unable to meet the flow and pressure conditions associated with the available gas.
Customer's Need:
To meet the new conditions, the customer needed 15 inch diameter cylinders with a 1350 psi rating. Valving was to provide compression efficiencies associated with gas transmission requirements.
ACI's Solution:
ACI produced 15 inch diameter, nodular iron cylinders with a 1350 psi rating. Each cylinder had a total of 8, 10 1/8 inch diameter valves. Unloaders were placed over valves and in the front head. Segmented pistons utilizing a multi-stud to rod attachment and slip fit liners were incorporated in the design.
Follow-up:
Multiple orders were received for identical cylinders over a period of years.
