Our company supplies customized centrifugal compressors with a wide range of variety of configurations. Compressor capacity from 50 to 8,000 m3 / min at pressures up to 45 MPa.
In these compressors, the non-vortex air flow passes through a straight pipe and enters the centrifugal compressor.
The flow passing through the centrifugal impeller, begins to rotate faster, due to the increase of distance from the axis of rotation. Often, the flow leaving the centrifugal impeller moves at a speed close to the speed of sound. Then it passes through a duct with an increasing flow area in which the energy conversion takes place, the flow slows down.
If the flow must be reversed in order to enter the next part of the machine, such as another impeller or combustion chamber, flow losses can be reduced by directing the flow using fixed swivel vanes or separate tubular diffusers. According to Bernoulli's principle, a decrease in speed causes an increase in pressure.
