The Ariel KBK and KBT are powerful, large-frame reciprocating gas compressors designed to handle the most demanding compression applications in pipeline transmission, gas storage, and high-volume midstream services. As part of Ariel's premium KB Series, these frames are built for high horsepower, high rod load, and long stroke operations. The KBK offers outstanding performance for large gas volumes at high discharge pressures, while the KBT is one of the largest and most capable compressor frames in the Ariel lineup, built to accommodate ultra-high horsepower demands. These units feature Ariel’s proven horizontal opposed cylinder arrangement with up to 6 throws and up to 6 compressor cylinders. The design emphasizes durability under extreme mechanical loads and pressure differentials, making them ideal for severe continuous-duty cycles.
