Baker Hughes - Axial Compressors
Axial compressors for highest flow rates and improved gas turbine plant flexibility. At Baker Hughes, our AN and AX axial centrifugal compressors are built on decades of design expertise and over a million running hours in high-performance environments. You can rely on these compressors to handle the highest flow rates and rotational speeds while delivering impressive polytropic efficiency, ensuring flexibility for your plant with a fixed-speed driver. Our high-reliability standard configurations are designed to optimize vane, stationary blade, and blade-row performance, even under high-pressure ratios.
