Who knows what the function of the balance tube in the high-pressure cylinder of a centrifugal compressor is? Please share some insights

The balance tube of a centrifuge is generally used to balance axial forces. The balance discs used in our company rely on gas pressure differences to balance the axial forces of the main shaft.

The function of the balance tube in the high-pressure cylinder of a centrifugal compressor is primarily to balance the axial forces. One end of this balance tube is connected to the outlet side, while the other end is connected to the inlet side. It is usually used in combination with a balance drum or balance disk, and relies on the pressure difference of the gas to balance the axial forces on the main shaft. There are other methods as well: 1. Symmetrical installation of the impeller. 2. Install the axial thrust pads. Wait
