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.

Do an ALP to compare two eight bit numbers NUM1 and NUM2 stored in external memory locations 8000h and 8001h respectively. Reflect your result as: If NUM1NUM2, SET MSB of location 2FH (bit address 7FH). If NUM1 = NUM2, then Clear both LSB & MSB of bit addressable memory location 2FH.
