How does a axial compressor work?
An axial-flow compressor compresses its working fluid by first accelerating the fluid and then diffusing it to obtain a pressure increase (Chapter 7). The fluid is accelerated by a row of rotating airfoils or blades (the rotor) and diffused by a row of stationary blades (the stator).
What is an axial compressor used for?
Axial compressors are integral to the design of large gas turbines such as jet engines, high speed ship engines, and small scale power stations. They are also used in industrial applications such as large volume air separation plants, blast furnace air, fluid catalytic cracking air, and propane dehydrogenation.
What does a centrifugal compressor do?
A centrifugal compressor imparts kinetic energy into the airstream by increasing the velocity of the air using a rotating element and then converts this kinetic energy into potential energy in the form of pressure.
What is a compressor stator?
An axial flow compressor has two basic elements – a rotor and a stator. The stator blades are fixed and act as diffusers at each stage. They partially convert high velocity air into high pressure. Each rotor/stator pair is a compressor stage. Each consecutive compressor stage compresses the air even more.
Apa yang dilakukan kompresor aksial?
Kompresor aksial adalah kompresor yang berputar dinamis yang menggunakan serangkaian kipas airfoil untuk semakin menekan aliran fluida. Aliran udara yang masuk akan mengalir keluar dengan cepat tanpa perlu dilemparkan ke samping seperti yang dilakukan kompresor sentrifugal.
Apakah kompresor udara aksial digunakan dalam proyek konstruksi?
Kompresor udara aksial biasanya tidak digunakan dalam proyek konstruksi tetapi malah ditemukan di mesin berkecepatan tinggi di kapal atau pesawat.
Apa yang disebut kompresor resiprokal?
Kompresor Torak Resiprokal (reciprocating compressor) Kompresor ini dikenal juga dengan kompresor torak, karena dilengkapi dengan torak yang bekerja bolak-balik atau gerak resiprokal. Pemasukan udara diatur oleh katup masuk dan dihisap oleh torak yang gerakannya menjauhi katup.
