In-house Research & Engineering

All core engineering for LMF compressor solutions is carried out in-house at the company’s headquarters in Leobersdorf, Austria.

Bare-block, mechanical and electrical engineering work closely with LMF’s dedicated Research & Development department. This integrated approach enables LMF to develop the compressor, package and control system as one coordinated solution.

Bare-Block Engineering

Bare-block engineering defines the thermodynamic and mechanical core of the compressor.
Based on the gas composition and required operating conditions, LMF determines the compression stages, cylinder configuration, materials, valves, sealing and lubrication concept, compressor speed and capacity regulation.

Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical engineering integrates the compressor into the complete package.
This includes the skid and structural design, piping, pressure vessels, cooling and lubrication systems, driver integration, enclosure and all relevant plant interfaces. Project-specific analyses such as pulsation, vibration, torsional and structural studies are incorporated as required.

Electrical Engineering

LMF develops the electrical equipment, instrumentation and automation for each compressor system in-house.
The scope can include control panels, start-up and shutdown sequences, capacity regulation, safety logic, process visualization, plant communication and remote diagnostics.

Research & Development

LMF’s dedicated R&D department advances reciprocating high pressure compressor technology beyond individual customer projects.
Development activities focus on new gases and applications, oil-free compression, sealing and material technologies, compressor efficiency, reliability, service intervals, automation and condition monitoring. New concepts are evaluated through calculation, prototype development and application-relevant testing.
