Abstract
A gas compression system may include a gas compressor having a compressor rod, a piston, and an interior chamber. The gas compressor may receive a process gas at a first pressure, pressurize the process gas via the piston, and output the process gas at a second pressure higher than the first. Additionally, an internal combustion engine coupled to the gas compressor may, during operation, actuate the compressor rod and generate exhaust gas. The gas compression system may also include a packing case, disposed around the compressor rod and fluidly coupled to the interior chamber. The packing case may receive and direct the exhaust gas to counter a flow of the process gas through the packing case from the interior chamber.
