Product Description

TURBOEXPANDERS HEXT / CTE

PBS Turboexpanders are primarily designed for the expansion of gases such as helium, hydrogen, nitrogen, argon, air, etc., in a gas liquefier.

Easy regulation

High efficiency

Rotor placement on gas-dynamic bearings

Long-term and trouble-free operation

Turboexpanders HEXT / CTE 100, HEXT / CTE 200, HEXT / CTE 300

PBS has a long history in the field of cryogenic technology, with its first product on the market being the small cryogenic turbine (HEXT 0.5). Since then, we have developed additional turboexpander models and have made and distributed hundreds of turboexpanders to our customers and partners, all major players in the field of cryogenic technological processes, with exceptional results.

An expansion turbine, also known as a turboexpander, is one of key parts in the cryogenic technological processes. PBS expansion turbines are designed to be used for the expansion of hydrogen, helium, nitrogen, argon and others during the processes of gas liquefaction. These devices are either centrifuges or axial-flow turbines, instrumental in creating work from pressurized gas to be used to drive a compressor or generator.

The extracted gas heat energy is transformed into the mechanical energy of the shaft in the turbine through the turbine wheel. This mechanical energy is then transformed into thermal energy via an integrated turbine brake, which is then drained out of the turbine by means of a coolant.

PBS turboexpanders have a unified design that makes it possible to quickly respond to customer requirements for various input and output parameters of the expanding gas.

The main advantage of PBS turboexpander is the very easy and precise speed control with the turbine brake, as well as their long-term trouble-free and maintenance-free operation thanks to the placement of the rotor on gas-dynamic bearings.
