Enhancing efficiency and reducing carbon footprint in centrifugal air compressors with active magnetic bearings: high-speed operation for specific energy.

Summary

This study compares high-speed direct drive centrifugal compressors (DDCC) and oil-free screw compressors (OFSC), analyzing boundary conditions, component performances, and energy consumption. Results include the energy efficiency of high-speed DDCC configurations, weight reduction benefits and total cost of ownership (TCO) comparisons over 10 years. The results emphasize the potential of high-speed centrifugal compressors for sustainable industrial practices.
