Cameron has taken on a project to remanufacture two 16-cylinder Cooper-Bessemer V-250s and upgrade them to W-330s. The units will replace 14,400 horsepower of Cooper-Bessemer Type 26 horizontal units originally installed in 1920s and 1930s. After 80 years of dependable service and support from these units, the customer has chosen Cooper-Bessemer units again. In addition to OEM support, the customer has chosen the Cooper-Bessemer units because they are unmatched in maintenance cost, compressor efficiencies, life cycle and reliability – all while still meeting today’s strict emissions standards.
The units will be “zero-houred” and assigned news serial numbers. The base, block, crankshaft, master rod, power rods and a few other items will be remanufactured to new condition; most components will be brand new, many with new designs. Several new component designs were created using Cameron’s state-of-the-art engine design and simulation software. The software program gives Cameron engineers the ability to simultaneously dial in multiple configurations to reach the optimal performance, emissions, efficiency, combustion and noise levels. The heads have been redesigned to allow for leaner combustion while also increasing combustion stability. Air to the engine will be delivered via two new ET24 turbochargers that were designed, manufactured and tested in Cameron’s Salina, Kansas TSI plant. A new control package with parametric emissions monitoring will allow the engine to run at tighter margins of emissions compliance. Additional performance and reliability components include electronic fuel injection, pre-chambers with electronic check valves, and improved intake and exhaust system. Once complete, the engines will be rated 8000 HP at 100-degree ambient temperature and can be up-rated to 9200 HP at 40-degree ambient temperature. The engines will each be matched with four Cooper-Bessemer CEGTA-20 gas transmission compressor cylinders. These 21.5-inch-diameter, air-cooled, high efficiency cylinders have a flow rate of 331 MMSCFD and compression ratio of 1.6:1. They will be tested to 1950 psig and will have a working pressure of 1300 psig. Each cylinder, weighing in at 43,000 lbs, will also be equipped with the latest sealing components to mitigate fugitive emissions.The desire for improved performance and fuel consumption, in conjunction with clean air needs, has created a lot of interest in remanufacturing and upgrading old engines. Following years of upgrade experience and continued research and development, Cameron is prepared to meet the demands of their customers.
