This simple design just makes good sense and saves money. By providing easy access, our new flexible fuel header lets you maintain fuel valves, and even replace them, in a matter of minutes, rather than hours. As an added benefit, the system relieves much of the assembly stress from the gas injection valves.
Gas Engine CompressorsExciting New Ajax Engineering Evolutions
eLeCtroniC GoVerninG system
Ajax engineering comes through in another big way with our Integrated Governor Throttle Body, now standard equipment. The IGTB provides excellent speed stability and quick response to load changes. The governor measures engine speed with a magnetic pickup and automatically adjusts fuel gas header pressure as required to maintain desired speed. The IGTB offers the features of simplicity without the requirement for on-site tuning.

Many have tried, but only Ajax delivers a highly successful, field-proven catalytic converter to meet the new environmental guidelines for two-stroke low-emission gas engines. Designed to alleviate the potential worries of oil contamination and pressure spikes, this new product improvement virtually eliminates CO and VOC emissions and greatly reduces formaldehyde emissions. Add this to our patented expansion chamber, and its possible to achieve any combination of these benefits, including reduced NOx and/or increased site horsepower ratings.

Because ever-tightening environmental requirements pose such difficult, constant challenges, our goal is to help you comply without giving up performance. Our patented exhaust expansion chamber provides perfect proof. Its ingenious design allows you to recover up to 50% BHP derating, reduce NOx by 60%, or both, depending on your needs. Even better, there are no moving parts, no computers and no air-fuel ratio controllers, and no maintenance is required.
LUBe system
For even better reliability, weve made a sophisticated divider block system standard issue for our power and compressor cylinders across the line. A solid-state flow monitor provides automatic low- and no-flow shutdown to prevent damage to the engine in the case of pump failure. With fewer moving parts, less tubing and only a few pumps required, the system is a model of user-friendly efficiency.

Simplicity reigns supreme with Ajax integral technology.
And improvements are made with one very critical
parameter in mind never compromise the strength and
simplicity of the original design. That explains why our
integral engine-compressors simply last longer, cost
less to maintain and come standard with features that
meet all the BACT emissions requirements. They also con-
sistently maintain an impressive 98% or better availability.
For a life cycle that can easily span 50 years or more, all
thats required of you is an annual oil change and very few
special tools; as proof, our very first two DPC models,
built in 1958, are still running strong.

The Ajax Competitive AdvantageBetter proDUCts. After nearly 50 years of reliable, efficient, long-lasting
service, Ajax integral engine-compressors continue to earn their
distinguished reputation for being as close to worry-free as any
compressor product in the world. Our product line, from 147 to 845
horsepower (110-630 kw), and a cylinder line-up capable of handling
a wide range of pressures, from vacuum to 5500 psi (379 BAR), offers
up to six ratios capability and the lowest BHP per million flows for a
wider range of applications, including sour gas. Thanks to its unique
two-stroke design, the Ajax integral engine-compressor virtually eliminates
problems typically caused by the presence of sour gas, handling
H2S content up to 3.0 mol%.
