Gas compressors at a natural gas facility

Efficient and reliable

Compression Coolers

Custom-engineered intercoolers, aftercoolers and oil coolers for reciprocating, rotary screw and centrifugal compressor packages

Improve efficiency and protect downstream equipment

Gas compression generates significant heat that compromises volumetric efficiency and equipment longevity. From handling the heavy vibration of reciprocating skids to managing the high flow rates of axial units, Hayden engineers robust air-cooled heat exchangers designed to meet your needs.

Axial and centrifugal compressor cooling

High-flow, dynamic compression demands heat exchangers with low gas-side pressure drop to maintain system efficiency. We design intercoolers and aftercoolers that support multi-stage processes in refineries and utility distribution. This keeps gas temperatures within safe operating limits for downstream dryers and pipelines.

Rotary screw compressor cooling

Oil-flooded screw compressors require aggressive thermal management for both the gas stream and the sealing oil. For these RNG and process gas applications, our coolers manage high oil heat loads to maintain proper viscosity and seal integrity.

Reciprocating compressor cooling

 Reciprocating service subjects heat exchangers to mechanical vibration and gas pulsation. Whether for low-pressure gathering or high-pressure injection, our rugged designs ensure reliable heat rejection without mechanical failure. Even in harsh conditions.
