Common questions
What are centrifugal compressors used for?
Companies that require a large supply of compressed air use our tried and tested centrifugal technology. At the heart of each machine is an individually designed impeller.
In short: each machine is optimized for its power range. Each pressure variant has its own optimized impeller. These impellers are built to last, which makes the centrifugal compressor a very reliable unit.
Centrifugal compressors are active in various industries: automotive, food, pharma, textile, power, renewable energy, wastewater treatment, the chemical industry and oil and gas. Reach out to know more.
How does a centrifugal compressor work?
In a centrifugal compressor, a rotating impeller with radial blades draws air towards the impeller's core, where centrifugal force pushes it toward the centre. In this radial motion of air, pressure is raised and kinetic energy is generated. The kinetic energy is also turned into pressure by going via a diffuser and a volute before the air reaches the impeller. It is important to note that each step contributes to the total pressure increase of the compressor unit. Depending on the application's needs, a sequence of steps may be set up to achieve a higher pressure. In the oil & gas and processing sectors, multi-stage applications are common. Low-pressure, single-stage applications may also be utilised in wastewater treatment facilities to achieve the correct pressure ratio. The impellers of centrifugal air compressors are driven by ultra-high-speed electric motors in current systems. This results in a compact compressor without a gearbox and associated oil-lubrication system, thus making it oil-free and appropriate for applications that require 100 percent oil-free air.
