High Pressure
Ratio Compression
Innovative HPRC technology in a
lightweight, compact and
cost-efficient package
A whole new way
of thinking about
compression
GE’s HPRC technology is
based on an innovative
architecture that combines
unshrouded and shrouded
impellers on a single highspeed shaft to achieve
pressure ratios and efficiency
levels higher than other
available technologies.
As result of the increased
head per stage, HPRC units
have a shorter bearing span
that reduces the number of
casings required. Applications
that would typically require
multiple compressor bodies
will only need one with HPRC.
Individual HPRC units are
already smaller and lighter
than traditional compressors,
and the elimination of units
per train is another giant
improvement in overall
plant footprint, reliability,
availability and weight.
