What are the effects if the inlet temperature of a centrifugal compressor increases?
It will cause the compressor pressure ratio to increase and the compressor’s suction volume to decrease
It must be controlled in accordance with the operating procedures; if it exceeds the specified range, the cause of the increased suction temperature should be identified. A high intake temperature will have an impact on the equipment’s processing, mechanical components, and other aspects.
Inhalation volume decreases, compression ratio drops!
It depends on the medium; in any case, gas expansion results in more work being done, higher consumption, and greater vibration
High inlet temperature reduces the gas volumetric flow rate, increasing the risk of surge
