Centrifugal compressors are dynamic devices used to increase the pressure of gases through the application of centrifugal force. They operate by accelerating the gas using a rotating impeller and then decelerating it in a diffuser to convert kinetic energy into pressure. Known for their high efficiency and reliability, they are commonly employed in industries such as petrochemicals, refrigeration, and power generation. Their design is compact, making them suitable for high-pressure applications in a wide range of processes.
