What are the reasons for the pressure drop between stages in a centrifugal compressor?
Thread Content
I would like to ask fellow sea enthusiasts: could you please explain in detail what the reasons for the pressure drop between stages in a centrifugal compressor are? Thank you!
Leakage, increased intake temperature, reduced pressure, wear on the impeller
Additional note: Poor cooling performance of the interstage coolers in centrifugal compressors can also lead to a decrease in interstage pressure.
Replacement, damage to the inter-stage gas seal, leakage in the inter-stage instrument sampling tube.
Without a pressure drop, where does heat exchange come from?
The inter-stage filter is clogged or the heat exchanger is clogged.
