    The document compares the operating costs of AJAX slow speed integral compressors to high speed separable compressor packages. It finds that AJAX compressors have lower lube oil costs, require fewer changes per year, and have lower yearly maintenance costs. Data is also presented showing AJAX compressors have higher reliability and availability as well as lower downtime costs. Fuel efficiency tests found AJAX compressors to be 9.6% more efficient than high speed units. Overall, the document argues AJAX compressors have lower operations and maintenance costs than alternative compressor technologies.
