Howe Corporation manufactures High Speed Reciprocating Compressors in Two, Four and Six cylinder models, either high stage or booster ranging in capacity from 11 TR up through 100 Tons of Refrigeration. Uniquely positioned to offer both reciprocating and screw compressor products, Howe is proud of the decades of refinements that have gone toward making reciprocating compressors still the best choice for many applications.

For instance, in the area of energy efficiency, the Howe "J" series design simply out performs screw compressor equipment. Importantly, the cost of maintaining Howe reciprocating compressors is often a fraction of maintaining those of our leading competitors. So no matter how the industry changes, dependable Howe "J" Series reciprocating compressors continue to provide the maximum in energy efficiency and durability of any other compressor of any brand.

- Spring loaded safety heads: an ORIGINAL Howe patent.

- Cylinder Displacement: about 20% greater than other popular machines. At 1200 RPM, our 2-cylinder displaces 123 CFM; 4-cylinder - 245 CFM; 6-cylinder - 368 CFM. Did you know the Howe "J" series 2-cylinder compressor has similiar capacity as a Mycom 6 cylinder? This means lower initial costs, and lower maintance costs.

- Suction and discharge valves: Uses one of the most energy-efficient designs in the industry. Improved discharge valve features enlarged openings.

- Main bearings: large diameter, energy-efficient tapered roller bearings.

Simplify compliance with OSHA and environmental regulations on Ammonia recovery. With Howe heavy-duty, slow speed ammonia recovery compressors compliance has never been easier. Howe's 3" x 3" reciprocating compressor is small and compact enough for "portable" recovery and recycling service in industrial ammonia refrigeration systems. Compressor units are available with air cooled or water cooled heads. Units can be built up with accessories to self-contained packages.

Improve maintenance and personnel efficiency Consider the savings in service cost that an in-plant ammonia pump out system can provide for your Process Safety Management. Often times, Howe's G-15 reciprocating compressor has "whole plant" recovery capabilities. Water cooled self-contained packages are available.
