A Centrifugal Compressor Seal

A S L E Transactions, 1977
A new impeller-to-sump seal was developed for a line of hermetically sealed centrifugal compressor units. Tests, using an actual compressor unit, were made to simulate steady operating conditions. Both new seal configurations and the original seal were tested. A new seal configuration resulted in a 25:1 reduction in refrigerant leakage.

CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSORS CONTROL CRITICALITY

International Journal of Engineering Applied Sciences and Technology, 2023
This article focused mainly on the importance of anti-surge control of compressor and how to design the recirculation line for turndown of compressors that’s referred as surge.

Hyperbolically shaped centrifugal compressor

Journal of Thermal Science, 2003
Starting from the classical centrifugal compressor, cone shaped in meridional cross section, two modifications are considered on the basis of results from 2D and 3D flow models. The first modification is the change of the meridional cross section to hyperbolically shaped channel.

Centrifugal Compressor Surge Behaviour

Volume 1: Turbomachinery, 1984
The unsteady behaviour of compressor systems near the surge line and during surge was investigated. Experimental examinations were carried out using a three stage centrifugal compressor of industrial design in different types of piping systems. The results obtained were compared with different theoretical models.

Sound generation in centrifugal compressors

Journal of Sound and Vibration, 2006
Abstract An experimental study is described to explore the dominant sound generation mechanisms of the spectral components governing the overall noise level of centrifugal compressors. At the design speed with supersonic flow conditions in the rotor blade channels, blade tone noise and buzz-saw noise are the main contributors.

Centrifugal compressor performance prediction

World Pumps, 2016
Data presentation is one of the main difficulties for the analysis of centrifugal compressors operative performances. However, actual performance is strictly related to field inlet gas conditions. Cmap software is designed to evaluate performance and predict the machine performances under different operative conditions.

The Centrifugal (Radial) Compressor

1981
The centrifugal compressor is one type of dynamic compressor, another being the axial compressor which is covered in chapter 6. As introduced in section 1.3, the dynamic compressor works by conversion of velocity to pressure in a continuous flow. This distinguishes it from the reciprocating compressor, which compresses the fluid intermittently in ...

FAILURES IN CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSORS

Machine Science Journal
Centrifugal flash gas compressors are mechanisms that convert the kinetic energy of gas into pressure energy, playing a crucial role in compressing and transporting associated gases in the oil and gas industry. These compressors operate on the principle of centrifugal force and are widely used in key industrial sectors.

Centrifugal Pump and Centrifugal Compressor Process Containment

SPE/IATMI Asia Pacific Oil & Gas Conference and Exhibition, 2017
Abstract Centrifugal Pumps and Centrifugal Compressorsare classified as driven equipment which are widely used in the oil and gas industry. They are primarily used to boost the operating pressure and transfer liquid and gas respectively in a safe and reliable manner.
