Centrifugal compressors are used in a wide range of applications in which performance and mechanical integrity are invariably among the paramount design objectives. There is therefore continuing interest in the development of a sound understanding of the relevant physical phenomena and in the systematic application of the knowledge base that is the ...

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.

FAILURES IN CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSORS
Machine Science JournalCentrifugal 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.

The Centrifugal (Radial) Compressor
1981The 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 ...

Disruption of a Centrifugal Compressor
2019Abstract One 49-in. impeller of a two-stage centrifugal air compressor disrupted without warning, causing extensive damage to the casings, the second impeller, and the driving gear box. Prior to the mishap, the machine had run normally, with no indications of abnormal vibration, temperature, or pressure.

Centrifugal and Axial Compressors
2016This chapter and Chap. 10 treat the rotating modules of both aero engines and gas turbines. These modules are compressible turboachinery (or turbomachines). Let us first introduce a definition for turbomachines. The word (turbo) or (turbines) is of Latin origin, meaning “that which spins or whirls around.” Though compressible turbomachines may be fans,
