compressor 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… … Aviation dictionary
compressor 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 … Aviation dictionary
compressor 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 … Aviation dictionary
Axial 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… … Wikipedia
Compressor map — Each compressor (or fan) in a gas turbine engine has an operating map. Complete maps are either based on compressor rig test results or are predicted by a special computer program. Alternatively the map of a similar compressor can be suitably… … Wikipedia
compressor — A rotor that draws air into the engine and is driven by a turbine. A compressor must provide the required pressure rise; the compression must be affected with the least possible loss; it must be aerodynamically stable over the operating range of… … Aviation dictionary
Gas 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… … Wikipedia
single-stage compressor — A centrifugal compressor having a single impeller wheel, with vanes either on one or on both sides of the wheel. Also, an axial flow compressor with one row of rotor blades and one row of stator blades. Axial flow compressors are normally… … Aviation dictionary
Compressor stall — A compressor stall is a situation of abnormal airflow resulting from a stall of the aerofoils within the compressor of a jet engine. Stall is found in dynamic compressors, particularly axial compressors, as used in jet engines and turbochargers… … Wikipedia
Axial piston pump — An axial piston pump is a positive displacement pump that has a number of pistons in a circular array within a cylinder block. It can be used as a stand alone pump, a hydraulic motor or an automotive air conditioning compressor. Contents 1… … Wikipedia
Centrifugal 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 … Wikipedia
