91compressor control — See motor control …
92compressor impeller — An impeller of a turbocharger driven by the turbine at speeds up to 160,000 rpm, which accelerates by centrifugal force the charge air which enter axially and leaves radially at a very high velocity …
93compressor muffler — Sound absorber chamber in refrigeration system. Used to reduce sound of gas pulsations …
94compressor ratio — In a turbocharger system, the ratio between the volume in the cylinder when the piston is at the bottom of its stroke and the volume in the cylinder when the piston is at the top of its stroke …
95Centrifugal compressor — Centrifugal compressors, sometimes termed radial compressors, are a sub class of dynamic axisymmetric work absorbing turbomachinery.[1] Centrifugal impeller with a highly polished surface likely to improve performance …
96Gas compressor — A gas compressor is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume. Compressors are similar to pumps: both increase the pressure on a fluid and both can transport the fluid through a pipe. As gases are… …
97Scroll compressor — A scroll compressor (also called spiral compressor , scroll pump and scroll vacuum pump) is a device for compressing air or refrigerant. It is used in air conditioning equipment, as an automobile supercharger (where it is known as a scroll type… …
98Axial compressor — Axial compressors are rotating, aerofoil based compressors in which the working fluid principally flows parallel to the axis of rotation. This is in contrast with centrifugal, axi centrifugal and mixed flow compressors where the air may enter… …
99Digital scroll compressor technology — improves the performance of a scroll compressor. Inside a scroll compressor, there are 2 components called scroll sets. The 2 scrolls mesh against each other in the compressor. There are several pockets that are formed when the scrolls mesh with… …
100Prism compressor — A prism compressor is an optical device used to shorten the duration of a positively chirped ultrashort laser pulse by giving different wavelength components a different time delay. It typically consists of two prisms and a mirror. Figure 1 shows …
