Cooper-Bessemer W-330C3
Efficient. Reliable. Flexible. Proven.
State-of-the-Art Technology
Since 1929, GE’s Cooper-Bessemer* engines have been an integral
part of the gas transmission industry. The reintroduction of the
W-330C3 engine was driven by customers’ needs for high reliability
with a low total cost of ownership. This state-of-the-art engine is
flexible, with a wide operating range, and meets NSPS emissions
requirements.

Efficient
Cooper-Bessemer low-speed compressors are as much as 5% to
7% more efficient than centrifugal compressors and high-speed
reciprocating separable compressors over a larger operating range.
Reliable
Slower operating speed equates to less wear and tear, expanding
the life of the hardware. Cooper-Bessemer low-speed compressors
offer, on average, double the run hours per outage of high-speed
units.
Flexible
The Cooper-Bessemer W-330C3 engine can be operated between
45% and 100% of rated capacity.
Lower Cost of Ownership
With greater efficiency and less downtime, annual operating
costs can be as much as 30% to 50% lower than both high-speed
reciprocating and centrifugal compressors.
