Product Description |

Freespin In-Line Turboexpander |
Sapphire Technologies’ FreeSpin In-line Turboexpander (FIT) recovers waste pressure energy in natural gas pressure letdown applications from the Well Pad through the midstream pipeline to Citygates or Direct connect end-users. Our system’s turboexpander-generator design efficiently converts a fluid’s kinetic energy into clean power, generating electricity with no carbon footprint. In addition to natural gas and hydrogen, FIT is compatible with compressed air, carbon dioxide, and other process gas applications. The turboexpander-generator assembly contains a high-performance, high-speed permanent magnet generator with an integrated radial in-flow expansion turbine and low loss active magnetic bearings. FIT’s “flow-through” design directs the expanded fluid directly over the generator, providing integrated cooling and eliminating the need for auxiliary cooling equipment. Sapphire’s proprietary power electronics unit combines a Variable Speed Drive (VSD) and a magnetic bearing controller into a single cabinet. The VSD consistently delivers clean electricity from the turboexpander-generator to the grid. It is available in 2 models including: FIT 125 Max Power Output: 125 kW VSD Output: 380 to 480 V, 50 to 60 Hz, 3-phase Rotor Speed: 25,000 rpm Maximum Operating Pressure: 110 bar-g, 1,600 psi-g Design Temperature: -29 °C to 93 °C Generator: Synchronous permanent magnet Bearing: Magnetic (Dry type) FIT 300 Max Power Output: 300 kW VSD Output: 380 to 480 V, 50 to 60 Hz, 3-phase Rotor Speed: 25,000 rpm Maximum Operating Pressure: 110 bar-g, 1,600 psi-g Design Temperature: -29 °C to 93 °C Generator: Synchronous permanent magnet Bearing: Magnetic (Dry type) |
