- Definição2
- A compressor in which the airflow is radial air flows to thye center of the impeller and is slung outwaqrd by the centrifugal force into the diffuser, where its velocity is decreased and its pressure increased. A centrifugal compressor is robust, is relatively simple to manufacture, has a reasonable efficiency over a substantial range of operating conditions, and is comparatively small in size and weight. its compression ratio is, however, less than that of the axial-flow type of compressiors. it is normally used to produce a single-compression stage; however, two impellers can be interlinked to produce a two-stage, single-sided arrangement.
