Compressor Design
Compressor Families
• CE050
• 5” Diameter Impeller
• May be undercut to 4.6” for a 046 or 4.8” for a 048
• CE087/79/76/63
• The latest design compressor uses the 087 frame for these three
impeller sizes, 8.7” for the 087, 7.9” for the 079, 7.6” for the 076
and 6.3” for the 063
• CE126/113/100
• The latest design compressor uses the 126 frame for these three
impeller sizes, 12.6” for the 126, 11.3” for the 113 and 10” for the

Impeller Types
• Letter Code
• CE050
• M,K,J,H,G Letter Codes
• Older vintage compressors used all but the “M” code. Leter
designs used the “J”, “K”, and “M” variations.
• CE063, 076, 079, 100, 126
• Previously used “J” and “K”. Then as new designs were
released the “M” and “L”
• CE113
• Uses the “L” and “M” designs
