GE A Series (formerly designated the FE332D) natural gas compressors provide mid-range horsepower
performance in a compact, high-speed design. The 3.5 inch is ideal fit for today’s 1800 rpm drivers. Built for
high performance, the A Series compressors offer a wide range of cylinders, rated discharge pressures
reach as high as 6,000 psig, are ideal for high-pressure applications, such as gas re-injection, CNG vehicle
fueling, and high pressure fuel gas boosting.
TYPE: Engineered for reliability and low
maintenance, the balanced opposed A series
compressors offer a smooth-operating, easy-to-
service design.
FRAME: Features include a heavy-ribbed,
reinforced cast iron frame with full-depth main
bearing caps to add strength and minimize
vibration.
CRANKSHAFT: The single piece crankshaft is
forged steel with main and crankpin journals of the
same size, allowing for interchangeable bearings.
PISTON RODS: Piston rods are super finished
heat-treated alloy steel with lubricated and vented
packing.
CONNECTING RODS: Drop Forged steel
connecting rods are split on the crank end to allow
replacement of the bearings without removal of the
crankshaft and rifle drilled for forced lubrication of
the bearing.
CROSSHEADS: The one piece ductile iron
crossheads with babbitted faces include bronze
crosshead bushings and full floating hardened and
ground crosshead pins. Crossheads, and rod
packing are easily accessible through oversized
crosshead doors for fast and easy maintenance.
CYLINDERS: Cylinder configurations include
double acting, single acting, and tandem
arrangements. Non lube oil free cylinder
arrangements are available for special applications.

•1978, and 1981 – Model upgraded to the FE332B. Upgrades
compressors are packaged, serviced and included an improved lube oil system.
maintained by a worldwide network of •1982 - Frame upgrades brought the FE332C to market,
authorized packagers and distributors. offered higher speed and high rod load.
Contact us by phone or visit our website to •1990 – The current production frame was introduced as the
find the closest packager to you. FE332D frame. Crankshaft materials upgraded to forged steel.
•1996 – Model designation changed to A352, and A354.
