Overview
Radial turbocompressors are used in a wide range of applications including blowers, turbochargers, micro gas turbines, refrigeration systems and large multi-stage compressors for process gas and air liquefaction plants.
This webinar first gives an overview of the working principles of centrifugal compressors and important parameters used for design and sizing of these machines. In the second part, the challenges involved in the design of high speed impellers, 3D design approaches and aero-mechanical constraints are discussed.
