Centrifugal chillers are chillers that use centrifugal compressors to move refrigerants from one area to another. Centrifugal compressors are negative displacement compressors. They differ from positive displacement compressors (such as reciprocating scroll and screw compressors) in that these compressors move gas by converting kinetic energy to pressure energy. Attributes of centrifugals include their aerodynamic or turbine shape. Centrifugal compressors are used for their capability of high flow rates and good efficiency. Positive displacement compressors and negative displacement compressors are Continue reading
