A compressor map is a chart which shows the performance of a turbomachinery compressor. This type of compressor is used in gas turbine engines, for supercharging reciprocating engines and for industrial processes, where it is known as a dynamic compressor. A map is created from compressor rig test results or predicted by a special computer program.
Emerson Electric office in Markham, Ontario. Emerson Electric Co. is an American multinational corporation headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri. [2] [3] [4] The Fortune 500 company delivers a range of engineering services, manufactures industrial automation equipment, climate control systems, and precision measurement instruments, and provides software engineering solutions for industrial ...
Like the earlier APQ-153, the APQ-159 was a purely air-to-air radar system. It had four primary modes of operation, two search modes with different ranges using a simple B-Scope display, a C-Scope gunnery display with ranging and automatic lock-on ("dogfight mode"), and a similar mode used with the AIM-9 Sidewinder that calculated the missile's ...
The simplest inlet to a centrifugal compressor is typically a simple pipe. Depending upon its use/application inlets can be very complex. They may include other components such as an inlet throttle valve, a shrouded port, an annular duct (see Figure 1.1), a bifurcated duct, stationary guide vanes/airfoils used to straight or swirl flow (see Figure 1.1), movable guide vanes (used to vary pre ...
Compressor characteristic is a mathematical curve that shows the behaviour of a fluid going through a dynamic compressor. It shows changes in fluid pressure , temperature , entropy , flow rate etc.) with the compressor operating at different speeds.
Sizes range from small workshop air compressors to 8,400 kW (11,300 hp) heavy industrial compressors with output pressures as high as 60 bar (870 psi). [10] New oil flooded screw air compressors release <5 mg/m3 of oil carryover. [11]
A hydraulic compressor is a means of compressing air using hydraulic energy. There are two very different types of machines referred to as hydraulic compressors. One type is a mechanical air compressor that is driven by a hydraulic motor. It is a method of converting hydraulic power to pneumatic power. [1]
A reciprocating compressor or piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that uses pistons driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Pressures of up to 5,000 psig are commonly produced by multistage reciprocating compressors.
