high-pressure compressor
31Diaphragm compressor — A diaphragm compressor is a variant of the classic reciprocating compressor with backup and piston rings and rod seal. The compression of gas occurs by means of a flexible membrane, instead of an intake element. The back and forth moving membrane …
32dual compressor — A combination of low pressure and high pressure compressors being driven by low and high pressure turbines. Also called a twinspool compressor …
33Reciprocating compressor — A reciprocating compressor is a compressor that uses pistons driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure. [cite book|author=Bloch, H.P. and Hoefner, J.J.|title=Reciprocating Compressors, Operation and… …
34Air compressor — The air compressors seen by the public are of 4 main types: *To supply a high pressure clean air to full breathing apparatus cylinders *To supply a moderate pressure clean air to supply air to a submerged surface supplied diver *To supply a large …
35supersonic compressor — A compressor in which a supersonic velocity is imparted to the fluid relative to the rotor blades, the stator blades, or to both the rotor and stator blades, producing oblique shock waves over the blades to obtain a high pressure rise …
36Overall pressure ratio — In aeronautical engineering, the term overall pressure ratio is defined as the ratio of the stagnation pressure as measured at the front and rear of the compressor of a gas turbine engine. Generally speaking, a higher overall pressure ratio… …
37Natural pressure gas lift operation — is natural gas production and injection into gas trunklines using natural formation energy at the initial stage of field development when the amount of formation pressure is high enough (5.5 to 12 MPa). For instance, natural pressure gas lift… …
38Discharge pressure — (also called high side pressure or head pressure) is the pressure generated on the output side of a gas compressor in a refrigeration or air conditioning system. The discharge pressure is affected by several factors: size and speed of the… …
39Gluhareff Pressure Jet — The Gluhareff Pressure Jet (or tip jet) is a type of jet engine that, like a Pulse jet, has no moving parts. It was invented by Eugene Gluhareff, a Russian engineer who envisaged it as a power plant for personal helicopters and compact aircraft… …
40discharge pressure — [1] The pressure exerted in a liquid pumped, expressed in psi. [2] The (high side) pressure of the refrigerant being discharged from the air conditioner compressor …
