centrifugal compressor

A centrifugal compressor is a machine that increases the pressure of a gas by rapidly spinning a rotor equipped with blades. As the rotor spins, it accelerates the gas outward from the center toward the edges, where it gains energy and pressure. This process allows the compressor to efficiently compress the gas for use in applications like jet engines, HVAC systems, and industrial processes. Its design enables high flow rates and reliable operation, making it essential for moving and pressurizing gases in many engineering systems.
