Author(s) : JESKE H. O.

Type of article: Article, IJR article

Summary

ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS DICTATE THE TURBOCOMPRESSORS SHOULD HAVE THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE ENERGY EFFICIENCY, EVEN IF THIS ADDS SIGNIFICANTLY TO THE CAPITAL COST. ILLUSTRATIONS ARE GIVEN OF MACHINES COMPRESSING PROPANE, PROPYLENE AND FLUOROCARBONS IN THE POWER RANGE AROUND 10,000 KILOW. THE DESIGN PROCESS IS TRACED THROUGH THE FLUID-DYNAMIC PHASE TO THE THERMODYNAMIC STAGE AND FINALLY TO MECHANICAL DESIGN. THE EFFECT ON COMPRESSOR EFFICIENCY OF THE VARIOUS MAIN COMPONENTS, SUCH AS THE IMPELLERS, GUIDE VANES, DIFFUSERS AND VOLUTES, IS DISCUSSED.
