  • Bundle insertion/extraction system and method
    Patent number: 8534986
    Abstract: An insertion/extraction system and method for a compressor casing and a compressor bundle. The system includes a cradle extending from a first axial end of the compressor casing and configured to provide support for the compressor bundle during insertion, and an extension assembly coupled to a first axial end of the compressor bundle and extending therefrom into the compressor casing during insertion of the compressor bundle into the compressor casing, during extraction of the compressor bundle from the compressor casing, or both. The system further includes a support member that engages the extension assembly and the compressor casing to support the first axial end of the compressor bundle via the extension assembly, the support member configured to allow relative movement between the support member and the extension assembly during insertion of the compressor bundle into the compressor casing, extraction of the compressor bundle from the compressor casing, or both.
