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. Ingersoll rand s diverse and innovative products range from complete air compressor systems tools aro pumps material handling systems and more. We also enhance productivity through solutions created by club car the global leader in golf and utility vehicles.

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. Compressor efficiency increases with impeller size both due to reynolds number effect and reduced relative surface roughness. In this example case the operating range for the compressor is approximately 1 42 1 62 kg s with the pressure ratio of 1 47.
