Airend Rerates
As industrial operating requirements evolve, existing centrifugal compressors may need to accommodate changes in airflow, pressure, or production demands. Rather than investing in entirely new equipment, rerating an existing compressor can provide a cost-effective solution to improve performance, optimize energy efficiency, and extend equipment life while minimizing capital investment.
FS-Elliott’s Compressor Rerate Solutions are designed to help facilities adapt their existing centrifugal compressors to changing operational requirements. Through engineering evaluations and customized modifications, FS-Elliott can adjust compressor performance to better align with current system demands. Whether increasing capacity, modifying discharge pressure, or optimizing performance for new operating conditions, rerating can help maximize the value of existing equipment while maintaining dependable operation.
FS-Elliott’s Aftermarket Solutions: Compressor Rerate brochure highlights the benefits of rerating centrifugal compressors and the engineering capabilities available to support changing performance requirements. Learn how FS-Elliott helps facilities improve operational flexibility, enhance energy efficiency, and extend compressor service life through customized rerate solutions.

OEM vs Non-OEM Parts Explained: What Manufacturers See That Others Don’t
When your operation depends on continuous, high-performance output, the smallest component can have an outsized impact. At first glance, a non-OEM or aftermarket part may appear identical to the original. It may even fit.
But in precision equipment, “fits” and “functions” are not the same thing.
As the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), we design, engineer, and validate every component using original performance data, proprietary material specifications, and rigorous testing protocols. Each part is developed as part of an integrated system—built for durability, efficiency, and long-term reliability.
That perspective gives us a clear view into what happens when third-party parts are introduced into high-performance equipment. Here’s what operators should understand, straight from the source.

Rerate or Replace? How to Maximize Compressor Efficiency Without New Equipment
Rerating an existing compressor package provides a cost-efficient path to enhance plant air capacity without purchasing a new centrifugal compressor package. This approach eliminates the complexities associated with minimum bid procurement, budget approval, and permits for acquiring a new compressor. Organizations can increase capacity and efficiency by rerating existing equipment while saving time and money.

Compressor Airend Replacement, Overhaul, Rerate/Derate – Which Solution Is Right for You?
Maintaining optimal airend performance is critical to the efficiency and reliability of any centrifugal air compressor. Over time, wear and tear on the airend, one of the most vital components of the compressor, can lead to reduced efficiency, higher maintenance costs, and unplanned downtime.
