Large centrifugal impeller compressors are commonplace throughout the petrochemical sector, where they usually operate on a continuous duty basis. When a scheduled maintenance task at a refinery in ...

Tandem rotor configurations have emerged as a promising solution for enhancing the aerodynamic performance of axial compressors and fans. By splitting the conventional single blade into two successive ...

A tiny air compressor that was first developed for space travel has been adapted for medical laboratories and operating theatres by Edinburgh-based manufacturer Vert Rotors. The VERT.04.W compressor – ...

Three projects progressively modified gas compression on the UK Brent field to lower suction pressures in-line with late life reservoir and production requirements for depressurizing the field. The ...

Axial compressors are critical components in aero-engines and industrial gas turbines, where blade vibration and aerodynamics are inextricably linked to performance and safety. Current research has ...

One of the newer technologies involves twin screw compressors. This article will look at service-related aspects of such a unit. The screw compressor is a positive-displacement rotary mach-ine.
