The Consequences Of Compressor Operation In Overload.
Abstract
This work describes the potential consequences associated with operating a centrifugal compressor in overload. Nomenclature is offered to explain what is meant by overload operation, and methods that are used by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and end user to define overload limits are presented. The paper also describes the conditions that can lead to overload operation. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) results are used to illustrate the forces acting on an impeller when it operates at very high flow. Finally, this paper suggests considerations that should be addressed when designing (or selecting) an impeller that could be subjected to extended overload operation.
