What is surging in centrifugal compressor. how its happened
and how to avoid it.?
Answer Posted / zahid akhtar
Centrifugal compressor surge is seen as a very dangerous and detrimental phenomenon in compressed air systems, dangerous because it causes the compressor to vibrate and detrimental because it causes damage to the compressor parts. Compressor surge only occurs in dynamic compressors (Axial and Centrifugal) due to their nature. To understand compressor surge, a solid understanding of how a compressor actually works is needed.
A centrifugal compressor is a machine that imparts energy to the gas flowing through it. This energy is in the form of velocity and is imparted from compressor impeller to the gas. Kinetic energy of the gas is then converted to pressure head when gas is diffused, slowed down.
