CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSOR IN HIGH FLOW AND LOW HEAD APPLICATIONS: AN IMPELLER DESIGN CONCEPT FOR COPING WITH THE INCREASING VOLUME FLOW IN POLYOLEFIN PROCESSES
Abstract
The paper discusses the development of a novel impeller design concept that addresses changing requirements for radial centrifugal compressors applied in the polymer/downstream petrochemical industry. The impeller design concept developed balances the need for low heads, while at the same time achieving higher flow volumes for the compressor. The approach is described in form of a case study.
