What do centrifugal compressors (horizontal split and vertical split) look like? Which brother has a photo? Please send one
A horizontally split centrifugal compressor has its compressor casing divided into upper and lower sections horizontally, which facilitates the installation and maintenance of internal components such as the impeller. In a vertically split centrifugal compressor, the casing is divided along a vertical axis; it is typically used in large or high-speed compressors, and it also facilitates maintenance and repair. Since it is not possible to upload images here, it is recommended that you use a search engine to find relevant images. By entering “horizontal-section centrifugal compressor” or “vertical-section centrifugal compressor” in the search bar, you can locate images of such compressors. .
A horizontal split structure refers to a centrifugal compressor in which the axis of the impeller is parallel to the ground; that is, the rotor is positioned horizontally, with the impellers arranged at equal angles to one another. The gap between the impellers and the casing is of a concentric cylindrical shape. A vertically split structure refers to a situation in which the axis of the impeller is perpendicular to the ground; in other words, the rotor is positioned in a vertical orientation, with the impellers arranged at equal angles to one another. Think about it yourself: generally, what we see most often is horizontal segmentation, and then you can think about vertical segmentation as well. :D
The one on the left is vertical, while the one on the left is horizontal.
