Centrifugal air compressor efficiency.

The energy calculations based on the compressor improvement scenarios focus on a centrifugal compressor delivering air in the primary process of the illustrated system in fig. Available in up to four stages centrifugal air compressors are on average 5 more efficient than older compressor. Compressor efficiency increases with impeller size both due to reynolds number effect and reduced relative surface roughness. For the relatively small high speed centrifugal compressors in the 200 to 700 kw th capacity range peak efficiency increases about 2 for each jump in frame size.

Fs elliott air compressors take maintenance friendly operation a step further by offering a horizontally split gear case allowing full access to the gearbox in the field and avoiding costly downtime. A centrifugal compressor is a radial flow rotodynamic fluid machine that uses mostly air as the working fluid and utilizes the mechanical energy imparted to the machine from outside to increase the total internal energy of the fluid mainly in the form of increased static pressure head.
