WH6 WH7

1993 2002

WH compressor frames were created to replace

the weaker legacy SW frames. The WH has a lower
Crankshaft center line which makes it more stable.
WH6 or 7 Compressor
 Standard Equipment
Frame: One piece, cast iron heavily
ribbed casting with tie bolt construction.
Aluminum top covers with handles and cast
iron end covers.
Crankshaft: Closed die forged from a
solid billet of heat-treated SAE 4140 steel,
fully machined and balanced. Main bearing
journals are 7 in. (178 mm) diameter.
Centerline from bottom of frame is 20 in.
(508 mm).
Bearings: Precision, split-shell, steel
backed, tri-metal, main and connecting rod
bearings. Held in place by 4 bolt ductile iron
bearing caps. Bearings have a 7”(178mm)
I.D.
Connecting rods: WH6 & WH7 – Closed
die forged SAE 1045 steel.
Crosshead: Ductile iron, with replaceable
tri-metal shoes. Crosshead pin: Alloy steel
head in place by snap ring. See
specifications for all dimensions.
Crosshead Guides: Removable, cast iron,
heavily ribbed, with integral distance piece.
Uses O-rings for sealing. Aux. distance
piece also available.
Lubrication System: Crankshaft gear-
driven oil pump, system relief valve,
crankcase strainer, spin-on type full-flow oil
filter, filler / breather, oil level sight gauge,
and oil pressure gauges. Pressurized suction
cylinder lubrication system which includes;
stainless steel tubing and fittings, divider
block, and lubricator flow meter and no-
flow shut-down.
Special tools needed for field
maintenance.

 Auxiliary Distance Piece

View from Crosshead Guide Side View from Cylinder Side

The Auxiliary Distance Piece is used to protect the frame internal

components from the effects of corrosive gases such as H 2S. It can also be
used as a spacer for larger cylinders.

 Sour Gas Applications

Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) is a colorless gas that is very poisonous, and corrosive. Very
short exposure can be lethal, even at small concentrations. H2S is highly flammable,
and can be explosive. Dissolved in water, H2S is known as Hydro Sulfuric Acid or
Sulfhydric Acid, a weak acid. It is commonly found in Natural Gas and Biogas.
