Poorly Made in China. Compressors. Post #2 – Project #1. Baku, Azerbaijan

What Can Go Wrong with a New Chinese Compressor?

  • Why can a brand-new compressor from China be impossible to commission after delivery?
  • What can you discover inside the equipment after a complete disassembly?
  • Is it possible to build a reliable compressor from Chinese components that will actually work?
  • And where does simply buying equipment end and real engineering work begin?

In this article, we share a real project in Baku, Azerbaijan: compressor disassembly, the problems we discovered, modifications, commissioning, and our experience working with Chinese components.

Spoiler: the problem is not always the Chinese components themselves. What matters much more is who turns those components into a complete compressor, how they do it, and according to what technical requirements.

Compressor Reavell H5470 H2

This post is about oil-lubricated high pressure compressor with dryer for hydrogen (H2).

Manufacturer is Gardner Denver (CompAir Reavell in the past).

Yes, it’s not diaphragm compressor.

But, as I wrote before, I would like to share my experience and show to you some examples from my life about high pressure compressors for hydrogen.

The main principles of installation for piston compressors are the same as for diaphragm compressors.
