TUTORIAL: SURGE CONTROL AND DYNAMIC BEHAVIOR FOR CENTRIFUGAL GAS COMPRESSORS
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2015)
This tutorial discusses the design and function of surge
control systems, or more precisely, surge avoidance systems
on the basis of the behavior of centrifugal compressors when
they interact with compression systems.
