Innovative, small, high-speed centrifugal compressor technologies.

Author(s) : PANDY D. R., BRONDUM D.

Summary

United Technologies Research Center and Carrier Corporation have investigated the potential for direct drive high-speed centrifugal compressors to compete with current positive displacement compressors at minimal capacities. In the paper, some of the critical design issues are discussed, along with concept demonstrations, and performance comparisons. The conclusion is that a production 25 ton centrifugal compressor with a high efficiency permanent magnet motor, combined with low windage and bearing losses, would achieve an ASRE-T EER nearly 25% higher than current compressors.
