Fig. 3.21: Symbol of turbo-compressor | Radial compressors are flow devices in which the air is directed to the centre of the rotating running wheel.
The air is moved by centrifugal force against the periphery. The rise in pressure is caused by the accelerated air being directed through a diffusor before it reaches the next running wheel. The kinetic energy (speed energy) converts into static pressure during this process.<BR><BR>
