What is Centrifugal Compressors?

Centrifugal compressors are dynamic machines that use a rotating impeller to add kinetic energy to a gas or vapor. This kinetic energy is then converted to potential energy (pressure) by slowing the gas down through a diffuser. They are commonly used in applications requiring high flow rates and moderate pressure ratios, such as in HVAC systems, gas pipelines, and petrochemical plants.
