Centrifugal Compressor

The centrifugal compressor uses the principle of dynamic compression, which involves converting energy from one form to another, to increase the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant. It converts kinetic energy (velocity) to static energy (pressure).

The core component of a centrifugal compressor is the rotating impeller.
