HAUG CO2 Compressors

Oil-free compressors are essential for applications involving carbon dioxide (CO₂), where purity and environmental safety are paramount. Unlike traditional compressors, oil-free models eliminate the risk of oil contamination, ensuring that CO₂ remains uncontaminated and suitable for sensitive uses such as food and beverage processing, medical applications, and industrial processes. In addition to maintaining gas purity, oil-free compressors meet the high standards of gas tightness required for CO₂ applications, offering a reliable solution that enhances process quality and environmental compliance

HAUG Carbon Dioxide compressors offer:

• No gas contamination by oil
• Technically tight, in operation and at standstill

Example Carbon Dioxide compressors applications:

• In the beverage industry for CO2 enrichment
• In breweries
• Food and pharmaceutical industries as solvents in the supercritical state above 870 psi. For example, to remove caffeine from tea or coffee.
• As natural refrigerant with a heat pump. Relatively high pressures of more than 100 bar are required for this application.
• Storing excess electrical energy in the form of natural gas, which is synthetically produced from carbon dioxide and hydrogen. The carbon dioxide can come, for example, from a biogas upgrading plant and the hydrogen from an electrolysis plant. Thus, the synthetically produced methane can be stored in the natural gas network.
