Cryostar has a long experience in the design of the ECO, with the first unit built in 1983 and more
than 500 ECO in operation sold to the major gas companies.
The “cartridge” design of the expander allows access to the rotating element without removing
the expander casing.
For easy maintenance, a spare “plug-in unit” (expander without casing) allows customer to
change all internal parts within a minimum of time and with maximum reliability.
A modular lube oil system is feeding the oil brake and bearings.
The standard cost effective expander package is very reliable and offered at a competitive pricing
but can be customized on request.
