Equipment

Equipment that requires this property.

axial compressor

tag class

A dynamic compressor in which the gas is accelerated by the action of a bladed rotor and where the main flow is along the rotation axis of the rotor.

centrifugal compressor

tag class

A dynamic compressor in which one ore more impellers accelerate the gas and where the main flow through the impeller is radial.

centrifugal pump

tag class

A dynamic pump that contains impellers provided with vanes to generate centrifugal force to achieve the required pressure head.

compressor

tag class

A physical object that is driven by a prime mover by which energy is either constantly or periodically added to an amount of gas in order to increase its pressure.

reciprocating compressor

tag class

A positive displacement compressor in which forced reduction of gas volume takes place by the movement of a displacing element in a cylinder or enclosure.

rotary compressor

tag class

A positive displacement compressor in which compression displacement is effected by the positive action of rotating elements.
