Compressor thrust
Thread Content
How can radial thrust be balanced??? What methods can be used to balance axial thrust? Please help, guys
1. I’ve never heard of the concept of radial thrust; could you mean radial runout? The radial forces in your compressor are handled by bearings – I’m not sure what you mean. 2. As for axial force, it depends on the type of compressor: in reciprocating compressors, the components are arranged opposite each other, while in centrifugal compressors, methods such as using balance tubes or drilling holes in the impeller are employed. 3. Please don’t ask such confusing questions in the future; the scope is too broad.
Reply to 2# —Lantian— Is a vertical force an axial force? Haha, that’s a bit stupid. Thanks
Have heard of radial vibration and axial thrust.
