centrifugal compressors for air separation equipment

The centrifugal compressor is a mechanical device that utilizes centrifugal force to accelerate and compress gas, making it ideal for applications requiring large flow rates and high-pressure gas supply.

Technical Parameters of Centrifugal Compressor

• Flow rate range: 200 to 400 m³/min
• Discharge pressure: 0.6 to 11 bar
• Main motor power: 600 to 2000 kW
• Main motor voltage: 380V, 3KV, 6KV, 10KV, 50Hz, three-phase power supply
• Base size: 5000mm x 2300mm
• Weight: 16,000 kg to 20,000 kg

Operating Principle

The centrifugal compressor draws in and accelerates gas using a rotating impeller, imparting centrifugal force. The gas is then directed to a diffuser, where its velocity is converted into pressure, resulting in efficient gas compression.

Application Areas of Centrifugal Compressors

1. Oil and gas industry: Used for gas transportation and process gas compression in oil refining.
2. Chemical industry: Provides necessary gas pressure and flow for chemical production processes.
3. Air separation: Utilized in air separation units for oxygen, nitrogen, and other gas separations.
4. Electric power industry: Acts as a pressurizing device in gas turbine power generation to boost combustion efficiency.

With a simple structure, stable operation, and easy maintenance, centrifugal compressors are ideal for large flow, high-pressure gas transportation, and compression needs.
