Components

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 to static

energy.

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

center, or eye, of the impeller is fitted with blades that draw refrigerant vapor

into radial passages that are internal to the impeller body.
