About Compressor Sizing

Centrifugal Compressors

  • Continuous flow, high capacity
  • Typical efficiency: 70-85%
  • Best for steady, large volume applications
  • Multiple stages for high compression ratios

Reciprocating Compressors

  • Positive displacement, high pressure
  • Typical efficiency: 75-90%
  • Best for high pressure, lower volume
  • Intercooling between stages
