A low-speed coupling connects the motor to the gearbox, and a high-speed coupling connects the gearbox to the compressor. Process gas enters the compressor through the flanged opening at left center and is discharged through the flange in the upper left corner of the photograph. The impeller can be seen just inside the inlet port.
