Evaluation of the prospects for the use of single-stage centrifugal compressors based on high-pressure stages with an inlet guide device at linear gas compressor stations

The issues of evaluating the technical and economic prospects for the use of gas pumping units with single-stage centrifugal compressors with an axial suction nozzle, created on the basis of high-pressure stages with axial impellers and an adjustable inlet guide device, at linear gas compressor stations are considered. A brief description of the methodology for recalculating tests of a small compressor stage performed in air for working conditions as part of a gas compressor station is given. A comparative assessment of the competitiveness of the proposed compressor type with existing types of compressors in two-stage design has been performed.
