Compressor Types
notes
In the air-conditioning industry, helical-rotary compressors are most commonly
used in water chillers ranging from 70 to 450 tons [200 to 1,500 kW].
Centrifugal Compressor
The centrifugal compressor uses the principle of dynamic compression,
which involves converting energy from one form to another, to increase the
pressure and temperature of the refrigerant. It converts kinetic energy (velocity)
to static energy (pressure).
The core component of a centrifugal compressor is the rotating impeller.
