Horizontal Duplex Ammonia Compressor

[mickandlee]

Hi, back again

I've found pic of the combined steam engine / refrig compr.

The green cylinders are the amonia comp. driven by one side of the flywheel.
The steam engine powers the otherside of the flywheel.

The compressor that I used to work on had a cast iron base that incorporated on one side of the flywheel the refrig condenser and the other side the steam condenser.
The other difference was that the cylinders nearest to the flywheel were the double acting stem cylinders and the piston rods continued on to the double acting NH3 cylinders.

Keep Kool
