What is surging in a centrifugal compressor ? How it occur's ? How is antisurging done ?..

Answer / Putul Kumar

Surging in a centrifugal compressor occurs when there are rapid and uncontrolled fluctuations in the flow rate, pressure, and speed of the compressor. This can be caused by instability in the system or sudden changes in load. Antisurging is achieved through various methods such as surge control valves, variable-speed drives, and surge-absorption chambers.
