Eliminating the speed-increasing gear also reduces the compressor casing size by eliminating the need for a second shaft offset in the compressor casing.

Centrifugal compressors in air cooled packaged chillers: coincidence of market forces and technology

Among its components for Bladon Jets are: combustion housing, exhaust ducts, compressor casing and air bleed chamber, main shaft, bearing housing, centrifugal system housing and a deswirl diffuser.

Adding value, layer by layer: three small British firms are working together to push the boundaries of what high-tech manufacturing techniques can deliver

Postflight inspection revealed that the engine compressor casing had cracked in flight.

This jet-like flow at the trailing edge region is due to the jet flow leaking through the clearance between the tip of the rotor and the compressor casing. At this radial location, the velocity values close to the leading edge are almost uniform at around 2 m/s (or 1.64[V.sub.p]).

Axial flow characteristics within a screw compressor

The horizontally split compressor casing enables the compressor rotor and blades to be inspected or cleaned on-site.
