Superior high speed engines
Cooper is the O.E.M. for separable high-speed Superior engines and compressors. Our aftermarket team delivers total aftermarket support for Superior engines and compressors, from parts, to machine shops, to engineering, to field support — all from one convenient and very attentive source.
Cooper’s turbocharged Superior™ gas engines are built for reliable, continuous, heavy-duty service. Ideally aligned with our extensive Superior™ reciprocating compressor portfolio in terms of speed and horsepower, these engines can provide lower fuel consumption, increased efficiency, lower emissions, and a service life that surpasses that of many other engines in the marketplace.
Available in 12- and 16-cylinder models, these exceedingly robust engines were designed from the ground up for operation on natural gas and even dirty gas. Superior™ gas engines offer optimized fuel/air mixing and timed fuel injection, resulting in reduced fuel consumption requirements. The engine’s low compression pistons reduce dynamic stress for more stable, reliable operation.
Cooper provides dedicated support to its Superior engine customers with new O.E.M. spares parts, repair and UX parts, “zero-hour” remanufactured and UX engines, field services, and numerous upgrades to improve engine performance and reduce emissions.
Genuine O.E.M. Cooper parts for Superior high-speed separable engines and compressors are backed with decades of engineering, manufacturing, and in-field experience in material wear. We provide spare Superior parts that are manufactured to the latest standards and technical advancements. From our Superior parts manufacturing centers in Houston and Deer Park, Texas, we are committed to making every Superior part with our own brand of O.E.M. quality and to O.E.M. standards. We are committed to stocking and delivering Superior engine and compressor parts to our customers quickly and efficiently, and that’s why we house thousands of Superior part numbers at our dedicated central distribution center in Houston Texas, our Superior center of excellence in Deer Park, Texas, and in our field locations around the world.
Cooper provides a complete line of engine field and shop services for Superior high-speed separable engines and compressors, and we have been doing it for decades. From preventative maintenance, to shop and field overhauls, to field machining, to repairs in our many global shops, our Cooper service teams are fully trained on Superior engines and compressors and stand ready to assist our customers with all their service needs.
For decades, Cooper has been providing technology and engineering services for Superior engine and compressor upgrades. With our advanced technologies, expertise, and project management experience, we offer Superior upgrades to reduce engine emissions, increase horsepower, improve efficiencies and reliability of your equipment, and reduce maintenance costs.
To further strengthen our upgrade portfolio for Superior engines and compressors, Cooper acquired HOERBIGER’s Engines Services (HES) division in 2019. Cooper now offers even more upgrade technologies, including the HyperFuel System TM, HyperBalance™, HyperLogic™, ePCC™, and ePFI™. The Engine Services team has been offering engine emissions reduction and efficiency improvement upgrades, applicable to all types of Superior integral engines.
Superior compressors are rated 290 to 9,000 hp (216 to 6,711 kW). Engines are rated 2,000 to 2,650 hp (1,490 to 1,975 kW). Legendary Superior compressors and engines have been serving the industry’s compression needs for decades. Their reliable service makes them one of the most maintenance-free engine-compressor offerings in the market. Today, Superior engines and compressors continue to earn their distinguished reputation for being as close to worry-free as any engine & compressor product in the world.
Cooper is recognized globally as a leader in the supply of parts, service, repairs, and exchange engines for the Superior product line. Our Deer Park, Texas location was named our Cooper center of excellence for our Superior product line.
In 1889, Patrick J. Shouvlin opened a small machine shop in Springfield, Ohio. With the natural gas engine in its early beginnings, Shouvlin began his quest to develop his own model of natural gas engine. By the 1890’s, Shouvlin’s company became known as the Superior Gas Engine Company, which described the product offered during this time “Superior”.
Although Superior engines were initially designed for oil field applications, the company soon developed a relationship with the National Supply Company to market its engines throughout the United States.
By 1920, the Superior Engine Company added a semi-diesel engine. In 1923, it purchased Otto Engine Works to increase its market position and market share. The first Superior vertical diesel was completed in 1926 and the company changed its name to the Superior Engine Company.
