Short Name
(C) Chlorine Gas Compressor
Description

After drying and potential further cleaning, chlorine gas may be compressed by a variety of compressors, depending on the throughput and the desired pressure. Because of heat build-up from compression, multi-stage units with coolers between stages are usually necessary. Dry chlorine at high temperatures can react spontaneously and uncontrollably with iron. Chlorine temperatures are therefore usually kept below 120 °C.
