An LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) compressor is a mechanical device designed to transfer and compress LPG gas, such as propane or butane, typically used in storage, bottling, or transportation systems. These compressors work by reducing the volume of the gas, thereby increasing its pressure, allowing it to be moved from one container to another or through pipelines. Commonly used in gas plants, filling stations, and industrial facilities, LPG compressors are built to handle the flammable nature of the gas safely, often featuring flameproof motors, gas-tight seals, and anti-sparking components. They come in types like reciprocating, diaphragm, or vane compressors depending on the application.

They are typically positive displacement types—reciprocating or diaphragm compressors—built with gas-tight seals and explosion-proof components to safely handle flammable and toxic gases. Key features include oil-free compression (especially for ammonia), corrosion-resistant materials, and high-pressure capability. These compressors ensure safe, efficient gas transfer between tanks, cylinders, and pipelines.
