Centrifugal compressor consists of a cylindrical assembly of compressor blades mounted on an axle. The compressor operates by using the centripetal force applied to an air mass to achieve compression. Centrifugal compressors are used throughout industry because they have few moving parts, are very energy efficient, and give higher airflow than a similarly sized reciprocating compressor. Centrifugal compressors are more suited to continuous-duty applications such as ventilation fans, air movers, cooling units, and other uses that require high volume but fairly low pressures. While technically centrifugal blowers can operate in reverse, due to blade design and other factors their efficiency is greatly reduced. When centrifugal blowers are used in pipelines they are sometimes called jets.
Centrifugal compressors are often used in some small gas turbine engines, mainly because, at small size, all-axial units are less efficient than the equivalent CF compressor. Also because the rear axial stages become too small to be robust. Although some centrifugal compressors are capable of over 10:1 pressure ratio at a reasonable efficiency, temperature and stress considerations severely limit the pressure ratio that a CF unit can develop within the compression system of modern, high overall pressure ratio, gas turbine. Turbo shaft engines often use an axial-CF or double centrifugal compressor unit to achieve a high overall pressure ratio.
Drawing from its in-depth experience with industry SANTONI has been able to offer a wide range of standard and custom-built centrifugal blowers in MS, SS, FRP and other materials.
Our range of fans - both centrifugal and axial-flow, is the largest available in India, and are useful for a wide range of applications, such as the following: Industrial Ventilation, Industrial Pneumatic Conveying, Industrial Dust Collection, Industrial Drying, Industrial Vacuum Cleaning Systems, Fly Ash Handling, Industrial Air Handling Units, Industrial Furnaces, Industrial Cooling & Refrigeration Systems
