21Compressor diving — For other methods of surface supplied diving, see surface supplied diving. Compressor diving is a method of surface supplied diving used in some tropical sea areas including the Philippines and the Caribbean. The divers swim with an eyes and nose …
22compressor — [1] A mechanism in a refrigerator or air conditioner that pumpsvaporizedrefrigerant out of the evaporator, compresses it to a relatively high pressure and then delivers it to the condenser. [2] A tool for compressing a coil spring, such as a… …
23compressor stall — A condition in which the compressor blades stall as the relative airflow meets the blades beyond the critical angle. This can happen at start up, during rapid acceleration from low RPM, or during a sudden reduction of mass airflow, when a few or… …
24Compressor station — A compressor station is a facility which helps the transportation process of natural gas from one location to another. Natural gas, while being transported through a gas pipeline, needs to be constantly pressurized in certain distance intervals… …
25compressor disc — The inner section of compressor wheel that makes up a stage of compression in an axial flow compressor. The disc is mounted on compressor shaft. The rotor blades are mounted on the disc periphery. Each compressor stage has its own disc …
26compressor blade — A rotating aerofoil on the disc of a compressor in a gas turbine engine. A compressor blade adds energy to the air by increasing its pressure and density as it moves through the engine. Compressor blades are made of special steel, alloys, or… …
27compressor bleed air — Air taken out of the compressor section of a gas turbine engine to prevent compressor stall and operate cabin pressurization and air conditioning systems. Air may also be bled from the compressor for boundary layer control …
28compressor casing — The outer casing surrounding a compressor rotor. In an engine with an axial flow compressor, the stator vanes are mounted in the compressor casing …
29compressor stage — i. A pair of stator and rotor rings form one stage of an axial flow compressor. The rotating airfoils increase air velocity, which then changes into pressure in the numerous diverging ducts formed by the stator vanes. ii. Each section of a… …
30compressor stall-margin curve — An operating curve of a gas turbine engine, which shows the relationship between the compression ratio of the engine and the mass airflow that must be maintained throughout the engine. If either of these factors goes out of limits, a compressor… …
