Product Code : SCL-CELE-14200
The Radial Compressor Demonstration
Apparatus is designed for the study of gas compression principles and
performance characteristics of centrifugal compressors.
It allows students and researchers to experimentally investigate the operating
behavior, flow parameters, and performance curves of a two-stage radial
compressor system under controlled conditions.
Radial (centrifugal) compressors are widely
used to compress gases in industrial and process applications. The gas enters axially
into the impeller and is accelerated radially outward due to centrifugal
force, leading to an increase in pressure and kinetic energy.
This apparatus provides a clear visualization and measurement of these
phenomena through transparent intake and delivery pipes, a variable-speed
drive, and software-based data acquisition.
Key
