Refrigeration Cycle: Dynamic Displacement Compressors June 23rd, 2026
A centrifugal compressor operates using the principles of dynamic displacement. Vapor is drawn into the center, or ‘eye’, of a rotating impeller. The vapor exits the impeller and passes through a diffuser, which reduces the vapor velocity. This process converts the kinetic energy of the vapor into pressure energy. The pressurized vapor is collected in a ‘volute’ where it […]
