Explore compressor fundamentals, including classification and how to calculate the compression ratio. Examine dynamic, positive displacement, and thermal compressors, discuss surge, and understand P and ID.
Explore how a compressor increases gas pressure, from 1 to 5 atmospheres, for pure gases or gas mixtures, by decreasing volume.
Calculate compression ratio from discharge and suction absolute pressures, and distinguish absolute from gauge pressure, accounting for atmospheric pressure. Mitigate heat as compression raises temperature with cooling and multi-stage compression.
Centrifugal compressors use an impeller to increase velocity, converting kinetic energy into pressure in the discharge line. Single-stage or multi-stage configurations use one or more impellers to increase pressure.
Explore how the impeller in a compressor increases gas velocity and kinetic energy, and classify impellers as open, semi-closed, or closed with vane and disk configurations.
Explore surge in compressors, an aerodynamic instability caused by reverse flow from high to low pressure, and how mass flow and pressure ratio define the operating and surge lines.
