3. Function - take a definite quantity of
fluid and deliver it at a required pressure.
Usually a gas, and most often air use.

Introduction
Compressor
5. Centrifugal Compressor
velocity and pressure given to air or gas in a
radial direction by one or more impellers
diffuser combination.
The centrifugal compressor may be single
stage or multistage.

8. Multistage Compressor
Multistage containing a series of
impellers on a single shaft rotating at
high speed in a massive casing internal
channel
It lead from the discharge of one
impeller to the inlet of next these
machines and compress measure volumes
of air.

9. Surge
Surge is the BACKFLOW of gas in compressor.
Sustain oscillation
Important element it protects the compressor from
surge over the range of compressor operations.

10. Surge Description
Flow reverses in 20 to 50 milisec.
Surge cycle at a rate of 0.3 to 3 sec.
Compressor Vibrates.
Temperature rises.
Whooshing noise.
Trips may occur.

What we have presented so far in this presentation is that what is surge and it’s
generation. In this presentation we discussed characteristics of compressor,
phenomenon of surge like surge process, surge cycle, surge point, surge line,
surge control line, surge margin etc. We also mentioned here causes of surge in
centrifugal compressor and it’s effect and consequence centrifugal compressor
and also the prevention of surge occurrence(Anti-surge system).
