TT11 - Range Versus Efficiency--Striking the Proper Balance
Abstract
The paper addresses the balance between peak attainable efficiency and overall operating range that must be addressed when specifying, designing and/or selecting centrifugal compressors. The relative roles of the various compressor components; i.e., impellers, diffusers, guide vanes, and return channels; in achieving the proper balance are discussed. Finally, the importance of proper component and stage aerodynamic matching is emphasized.
