Selection of recompression recontact booster~
Thread Content
For the booster pumps in our company’s reprocessing system, back-pressure steam turbines are being used, with pressures ranging from 0.3 to 0.5 to 1.6 Mpa. I wonder if it would be more appropriate to use reciprocating compressors instead The advantage of a centrifugal compressor is its large exhaust volume and continuous airflow, although its efficiency is lower than that of a reciprocating compressor. What is the maximum compression ratio that a turbocentrifugal compressor can achieve?
It depends on the hydrogen production volume; a reciprocating machine is suitable for lower volumes, while a centrifuge is better for higher volumes. There are also many problems with reciprocating machines. As for the compression ratio, it generally does not exceed 3 per stage, with values around 2.2–2.5 being more common.
