The DA500 is a high-speed horizontal reciprocating compressor.

The DA500 is the first compressor in a range of high-performance, powerful machines that can be adapted to any type of gas and operating conditions.

The design of the DA500 compressor is based on API 618 guidelines with further optimisations that increase performance and reliability.

The DA500 represents the philosophy of Fornovo Gas and its investment in innovation.

Design excellence: the DA500 concept is based on more than 30 years of experience in manufacturing successful reciprocating compressors and extensive knowledge of the requirements of gas compression applications.

Engineering excellence: the Fornovo Gas design team used virtual prototyping techniques for real-time analytical testing during design, simulating the realistic workloads the machine is subjected to and advanced FEM (Finite Element Method) analysis techniques.

The DA500 offers innovative engineering solutions that enable high-performance results with minimal maintenance, maximum field reliability and durability.

Its versatile configurations combine compactness and efficiency for industrial solutions to ensure maximum efficiency in natural gas applications.

The machine has numerous options, including seal buffering and additional lubrication that make it usable for all types of gases.

The DA500 can exploit the available power of gas engines to the most.

It is coupled to an electric motor or gas engine with a maximum power of up to 1.2 MW and flow rates above 100,000 Sm3/h.
