This California company says its oil-free, centrifugal air compressor design, inspired by the air pumps used in sixteenth-century Catalonian blacksmith forges, is quieter, cleaner, longer lasting ...

Furthermore, centrifugal compressors are impractical to design to a capacity below 20 tons, or 70kW power rating, because of the impeller’s high rotation speed and the difficulty of manufacturing an ...

Discover how S-612, as part of JIP 33, is redefining specifications for integrally geared centrifugal compressors — and what ...

Driving Factors: Ongoing advancements in compressor technology, materials, and design contribute to improved performance, reliability, and maintenance of centrifugal compressors.

Many industries require engineered air, — air with the right temperature, pressure, and cleanliness — including automakers and food and beverage processors.

The compressor’s aerodynamics: The design of a centrifugal chiller’s compressor is also critical to low-lift performance. That’s because a centrifugal compressor operates most efficiently when the tip ...

A new book provides a basic guide to the selection of a centrifugal compressor, including all major aspects of design, fabrication, installaiton, operation and maintenance.

The oil-free centrifugal compressor with frictionless Aero-lift bearing technology is engineered to be an alternative to existing magnetic levitation bearing and refrigerant-lubricated ceramic ...

Since these compressors are most efficient in the 40,000- to 70,000-rpm range, a gear reduction must be incorporated into the supercharger's design to spin the compressor wheel at its proper speed.

Furthermore, centrifugal compressors are impractical to design to a capacity below 20 tons, or 70kW power rating, because of the impeller’s high rotation speed and the difficulty of manufacturing an ...
