TWO IMPORTANT POINTS

• Centrifugal compressors operate most effectively
  at full capacity.
• The capacity should be stated at plant conditions
  measured in actual cubic feet per minute (acfm).

3

• Centrifugal air compressors are dynamic in nature
  and are best used where demand is relatively
  constant.

4

• These compressors are oil-free and hence provide
  lubricant-free air.

5

• Centrifugal air compressors are high-speed
  machines. Thus they have shaft vibration monitors
  for recording operational trends.

List of Benefits

• Works on an oil-free basis and hence delivers
  lubricant-free air.
• Gives extremely high-efficiency
• Have low maintenance cost.
• Has a number of industrial uses.

7
Disadvantages

• Has a limited capacity.
• Requires high rotational speed for operating as
  well as special bearings to run efficiently.
• Required specialized maintenance and timely
  optimization.
