Panacea Piston product lines

Panacea technology is applicable for compressors across the spectrum, typically in the lower pressure stages of API and non-API, lubricated and non-lubricated compressors. Reflecting the differences in these compressor categories and acknowledging the different trade-offs in cost and reliability, several product lines can be distinguished. Together, they give an impression of the Panacea potential, but be prepared for extensions as more and more applications will be fielded.

Barrel type

Product Lines

When piston length can be or needs to be roughly equal to its diameter, we propose the baseline Panacea configuration of tailor-designed sleeve, Panacea core and a shaft that adjusts to your piston rod integration and prestressing requirements.

Disk type

Product Lines

Where possible for low pressure applications, the disk type piston will minimise product volume and will hence generally result in a lighter design. Even for these flat pistons, there is a considerable mass saving by employing the Panacea...

Very large pistons

Product Lines

Obviously, the larger the pistons will offer drastic weight reduction in absolute terms. Panacea manufacturing concepts allow such large designs to be made into reality, retaining the economics of the smaller pistons due to a scalable manufacturing concept.

Hot applications

Product Lines

Where weight reduction is brought about by the use of composite materials, upper temperature limits are a valid concern. Whereas the baseline technology provides a widely applicable temperature resistance, a new and special material innovation enables...

Ultra light pistons

Product Lines

Often, the baseline technology may already offer 50% mass reduction or more. However, if mass reduction is really critical, further savings will become interesting. These are indeed possible by employing advanced manufacturing and design methods.
