Guide to centrifugal compressor from core principle to industrial application

Among many types of gas compressors, centrifugal compressor has become the core equipment in various industrial fields with the advantages of large flow and stable operation. To understand the centrifugal compressor, we must first understand its working mechanism. Different from positive displacement compressor (such as piston type), centrifugal compressor belongs to speed (or power) compressor. In this paper, Turbo-Tech compressor will deeply analyze the working principle, structural characteristics and diversified applications of centrifugal compressor for you.
Guide to centrifugal compressor from core principle to industrial application
First, the core working principle
Work and acceleration: the motor drives the spindle to rotate, and the spindle drives the impeller to rotate at high speed. The gas is sucked from the core, and driven by the high-speed rotating impeller blades, it obtains extremely high speed, at which time the kinetic energy of the gas is greatly increased.
Kinetic energy to pressure: high-speed gas is thrown out of the impeller and enters the diffuser. In the diffuser, the cross-sectional area of the flow passage is gradually enlarged and the airflow speed is reduced. According to the law of conservation of energy, the reduced kinetic energy of gas is converted into pressure energy, thus realizing the compression and transportation of gas.
　Second, structural analysis
The structure of centrifugal compressor is complex and precise, which can be divided into two parts: rotor and stator.
Rotor (rotating part): This is the core power transmission part of compressor, including spindle, impeller and coupling. The aerodynamic performance of the impeller directly determines the efficiency of the compressor.
Stator (static part): including casing, seal, bearing, etc. The casing is not only a gas channel, but also a container that bears high pressure.
Third, a wide range of applications: the invisible pusher of industry
Centrifugal compressors are widely used in the following scenarios because of their excellent continuous working performance:
Petroleum and natural gas industry: used for natural gas pipeline transportation, oil field gas injection, oil and gas recovery, etc.
Petrochemical and chemical industry: used to compress process gas and air in the production of synthetic ammonia, urea, ethylene and methanol.
Iron and steel and metallurgy: used in blast furnace blowing, converter oxygen blowing and other key links.
Air separation: It is used to compress air in oxygen making machine, and it is the basis of making oxygen and nitrogen.
