The gas flow process in centrifugal compressors
Thread Content
What are the gas flow processes in a centrifugal compressor?
The inhaled gas passes through the diffuser, bend, and recirculation section, then enters the next stage, and this process is repeated – diffuser, bend, recirculation – before being finally discharged.
I also want to know how gas enters and exits the impeller
Nothing was found. I searched all afternoon yesterday but couldn’t find it. Maybe I, as a newcomer, don’t know how to search
Based on the most common three-stage compression system available on the market, air is drawn in from the atmosphere; after the first stage of compression, it passes through a cooler before entering the second stage. After compression in the second stage, it goes through another cooler before reaching the third stage. Following compression in the third stage, the gas either goes directly into the customer’s main pipeline with or without further cooling.
