Centrifugal and Axial Compressors
There are many different types of compressors. The types can be broken into categories based on their principle of operation. The first and most fundamental classification is whether a compressor is a positive displacement or dynamic compressor. This module will explain the difference between these two types of compressors and then concentrate on the principles of operation and the construction of two major types of dynamic compressors, centrifugal and axial.
