working of Centrifugal compressor
Centrifugal compressor
In a multistage centrifugal compressor with intercooler, air enters the first stage compressor casing and passes into the eye or centre of the first stage impeller.
The rotation of the impeller imparts a high velocity to the air as it moves radially outward into the diffuser or intercooler area where its temperature is reduced.
The air is then directed into the eye of the second stage impeller where more compressions takes place and similarly to each stage of the machine.
multistage-centrifugal air compressors are generally used for handling large air volumes at pressures up to 150 PSI and higher .
centrifugal compressors are often used for instrument air services.multistage units can handle large air volumes at pressure to 150 psig and higher.
