Description of Multi Stage Centrifugal Demonstration Unit

Multi Stage Centrifugal Demonstration Unit is a bench top unit for studying the multi stage centrifugal air compressor characteristics with data analysis by computer. The unit consists of a small multi stage air compressor with a motor on a steel base, inlet and outlet ducts, sensors and software. Speed control is by a variac.

Experiments of Multi Stage Centrifugal Demonstration Unit, 

1. Flow rate vs pressure.
2. Compressor input, output, and overall efficiency.
3. Effect of speed on compressor performance.
