Everything about Axial compressor

Machine for continuous flow gas compression

An axial compressor is a type of gas compressor that continuously pressurizes a working fluid. It is a rotating, airfoil-based device in which the fluid flows primarily in one direction parallel to the axis of rotation. This distinguishes axial compressors from other types of rotating compressors, such as centrifugal compressors, axi-centrifugal compressors, and mixed-flow compressors, in which the fluid flowing includes a significant radial component directed outward from the axis of rotation.
