The 12th EFRC Conference in Warsaw, Poland, was a big success. For this we would like to say THANK YOU to everyone that made it possible… Thanks to the organisers and to all our sponsors! We also thank all the participants – virtual as well as on-site visitors – for your active participation! We are…
EFRC’s COMPRESSOR RELIABILITY SURVEY – OUT NOW! The reciprocating compressor’s flexibility in handling wide capacity variations, and generating high pressures independent of the density of the gas, makes it a vital component in today’s energy markets – upstream, midstream, and downstream. Reciprocating compressors are expected to become even more important in the near future as…
General Assembly 2021 Due to the COVID-19-Situation the General Assembly 2021 was held again as an online event. We are glad that many members attended the assembly, which was streamlined to only 2 hours, and contributed to a very successfull happening. Among other things the General Assembly decided about a new constitution of the board…
New edition of our TUTORIAL Dear friends and partners of the EFRC, We gladly announce the roll out of the revised TUTORIAL SECTION on the EFRC website addressing the fundamentals of reciprocating compressors. It offers you core knowledge regarding the thermodynamics, components, operation of recips and their development and trends. We would be happy to welcome you to our refurbished section that will serve as your reliable look-up reference! To the Tutorials
