89, 95, 03 Series Cylinders – Replaceable Liner
Field Replaceable Liners
Majority of the 89 and 95 series compressor
cylinders come standard with field replaceable
liners. Liner bore range increments of 1/8”, 1/4”,
and 1/2”.
Feature: Water cooled cylinders come with field
replaceable nitrided liners.
Benefits:
•Compressor package is quickly and easily re-
configured to match changing conditions.
•Greater efficiency, improved asset utilization, less
spare parts are required.
•Liners are less expensive (liner and piston in lieu
of entire cylinder) and less labor is required to
change a liner than a complete cylinder.
•Package piping remains in tact and does not
need to be changed or be modified.
Lower Life Cycle Cost, added Flexibility improves Utilization Rate
89, 95, 03 Series Cylinders - Features
Linered Cylinders
=Flexibility •Field Replaceable
+ •Interference Fit
•Nitride treated liner surface
•Allows change in bore without
changing piping & bottles.
Generous Gas Passages – Low valve
losses, low temperature rises, high efficiency.
Water Cooled
Efficient Design – Low Clearance, High •Prevents LPG condensation.
Volumetric Effy. •Prevents thermal distortion.
•Longer life, cooler operation.
Hoerbiger Valves – Industry Standard,
