Gas Compressor Course |
| |
A gas compressor is a mechanical device that
increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its
volume.
Compressors are similar to pumps: both increase the
pressure on a fluid and both can transport the fluid
through a pipe. As gases are compressible, the
compressor also reduces the volume of a gas. Liquids
are relatively incompressible, so the main action of
a pump is to transport liquids.

Course
1- Centrifugal compressors |
|
|
Centrifugal compressors use a rotating disk or
impeller in a shaped housing to force the gas to
the rim of the impeller, increasing the velocity
of the gas. A diffuser (divergent duct) section
converts the velocity energy to pressure energy.
They are primarily used for continuous,
stationary service in industries such as oil
refineries, chemical and petrochemical plants
and natural gas processing plants.
Their application can be from 100 hp (75 kW) to
thousands of horsepower. With multiple staging,
they can achieve extremely high output pressures
greater than 10,000 psi (69 MPa).

Course 2- Axial-flow compressors |
|
|
Axial-flow
compressors are dynamic rotating compressors
that use arrays of fan-like aerofoils to
progressively compress the working fluid. They
are used where there is a requirement for a high
flows or a compact design.
The arrays of aerofoils are set in rows, usually
as pairs: one rotating and one stationary. The
rotating aerofoils, also known as blades or
rotors, decelerate and pressurise the fluid. The
stationary aerofoils, also known as a stators or
vanes, turn and decelerate the fluid; preparing
and redirecting the flow for the rotor blades of
the next stage. Axial compressors are almost
always multi-staged, with the cross-sectional
area of the gas passage diminishing along the
compressor to maintain an optimum axial Mach
number. Beyond about 5 stages or a 4:1 design
pressure ratio, variable geometry is normally
used to improve operation.

Course 3- Reciprocating compressors |
|
|
Reciprocating
compressors use pistons driven by a crankshaft.
They can be either stationary or portable, can
be single or multi-staged, and can be driven by
electric motors or internal combustion engines.
Small reciprocating compressors from 5 to
30 horsepower (hp) are commonly seen in
automotive applications and are typically for
intermittent duty. Larger reciprocating
compressors up to 1000 hp are still commonly
found in large industrial applications, but
their numbers are declining as they are replaced
by various other types of compressors. Discharge
pressures can range from low pressure to very
high pressure (>5000 psi or 35 MPa).

Course 4- Rotary screw compressors |
|
|
Rotary
screw compressors use two meshed rotating
positive-displacement helical screws to force the
gas into a smaller space. These are usually
used for continuous operation in commercial and
industrial applications and may be either stationary
or portable. Their application can be from 3 hp
(2.24 kW) to over 500 hp (375 kW) and from low
pressure to very high pressure (>1200 psi or 8.3 MPa).
They are commonly seen with roadside repair crews
powering air-tools.

Course 5- Rotary vane compressors |
|
|
Rotary vane compressors consist of a
rotor with a number of blades inserted in radial
slots in the rotor. The rotor is mounted offset in a
larger housing which can be circular or a more
complex shape. As the rotor turns, blades slide in
and out of the slots keeping contact with the outer
wall of the housing. Thus, a series of decreasing
volumes is created by the rotating blades. Rotary
Vane compressors are, with piston compressors one of
the oldest of compressor technologies.

Course 6- Scroll compressors |
|
|
A scroll compressor, also known as
scroll pump and scroll vacuum pump, uses two
interleaved spiral-like vanes to pump or compress
fluids such as liquids and gases. The vane geometry
may be involute, archimedean spiral, or hybrid
curves. They operate more smoothly,
quietly, and reliably than other types of
compressors in the lower volume range.
