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.

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 ...

Notes on Centrifugal Compressors

Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology, 1952
To the Editor Dear Sir, I wish to make some comments on the article in your August issue entitled ‘Some Notes on Centrifugal Compressors’ by L. N. Thompson. This is a distinct contrast to the article by Professor Baxter in the previous issue comparing axial and centrifugal types, which was excellent, being objective and making all the important points ...

Operation of Centrifugal Compressors in Choke Conditions

2011
Centrifugal compressors are at times required to operate in or near the choke region. Various limits of the degree of allowable operation in choke have been established. Based on test data and numerical data, the behavior of centrifugal compressors in the choke region is studied.

A CAD Method for Centrifugal Compressor Impellers

Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power, 1984
A computer-aided design method (CAD) has been developed for radially ending and backswept centrifugal compressor impellers. The geometrical concept introduced for generating the impeller geometry takes care of numerical, manufacturing, as well as aerodynamic aspects.

Disruption of a Centrifugal Compressor

2019
Abstract 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.

Review of Centrifugal Compressor’s Application and Development

Journal of Turbomachinery, 2003
The paper historically describes the application and development of the centrifugal compressor from the very beginning of its introduction until today. It focuses on selected practical and theoretical examples that—to the author’s opinion—pushed the centrifugal’s standard from simple, low efficiency designs to its current high level status.

Centrifugal and Axial Compressors

2016
This 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,

On the Flow in the Vaneless Diffuser of a Centrifugal Compressor

Journal of Applied Mechanics, 1962
The flow in the vaneless diffuser of a centrifugal compressor is found by means of a series of conformal transformations which map the uniform parallel flow over a semi-infinite flat plate into the flow in a scroll-type diffuser. The method is based on the assumptions that the flow is inviscid, incompressible, and two-dimensional and that the impeller ...
