The Ariel KBE is a high-performance, large-frame reciprocating gas compressor built for continuous-duty, high-horsepower applications in gas transmission, gas storage, and other demanding midstream and industrial environments. As part of Ariel’s premium KB Series, the KBE is specifically designed to bridge the gap between the KBZ and KBK frames, offering a balance of high rod load capacity and large displacement with excellent mechanical reliability. With its heavy-duty frame, 6.5-inch stroke, and up to 6-throw configuration, the KBE provides superior flexibility for handling multiple gas stages and large cylinder bores. It is well suited for use with large gas engines or electric motor drivers and is commonly installed in pipeline compressor stations and storage facilities requiring continuous, high-volume compression with long service intervals. The KBE upholds API 618 standards and features Ariel’s signature precision alignment, robust crossheads, and advanced lubrication systems.
