Centrifugal flow compressor

« Back to Glossary Index

Centrifugal Flow Compressor, also known as a radial outflow compressor, is a mechanical device designed in an impeller shape that takes in air at its center and pushes it outward at high velocity into a diffuser, which increases the air pressure. This type of compressor is widely used in various industrial and commercial applications to compress gases like air, hydrogen, and natural gas, among others. The centrifugal flow compressor works on the principle of the centrifugal force that pushes the gas particles to move outward and, in turn, increases the overall pressure of the gas. The centrifugal flow compressor comes in a variety of designs, including the single-stage and multi-stage compressors, and is known for its higher efficiency, low maintenance, and high durability. With its ability to maintain a stable flow rate and handle a wide range of gases, the centrifugal flow compressor is considered an essential component in various industrial processes.
