    GE introduced an optional dual drive design for its A, D, E, and F compressor models that allows the units to be driven from either end. The first units were sold for natural gas and electricity arbitrage applications. The dual drive compressors have interchangeable parts with standard models except for the crankshaft, and use a second drive end housing on the back end. The D604DT model shown was available at a 5% upcharge with an 8-10 week lead time.

    Number: 02-001 Sub Group: Frame Lube GP
    Date: March 18, 2002 Series: D604DT

    GE Gemini has created an optional design feature that will allow the A, D, E, or F
    compressors to be driven from either end. The figure below shows 1 of a series of 6
    D604DT frames that have been produced in the 4th quarter of 2001. Potential applications
    for this type of unit are numerous and include:
    -Gas Engine on one end and Electric Motor on the Other for Gas vs Electricity Arbitrage
    (planned application for first units sold)
    -Ability to drive screw compressor or Site Power Alternator off the back-end…note that
    the combined Load on the Reciprocating compressor and additional driven equipment can
    not exceed the maximum shaft horsepower (i.e, 2400hp for D604DT)

    The major parts are completely interchangeable with the current models with the exception of
    the crankshaft itself…a second drive end housing is used for the backend cover. The
    lubrication accessories normally located on the end housing are provided for separate skid
    mounting or mounted on the frame as shown below.
