Definitions
- compact motor-compressors may often attempt to achieve the higher compression ratios by increasing the number of compression stages within the single, hermetically sealed housing. Increasing the number of compression stages, however, increases the overall number of components (e.g., impellers and/or other intricate parts) required to achieve the desired compressor throughput (e.g., mass flow) and pressure rise to achieve the higher compression ratios. Increasing the number of components required in these compact motor-compressors may often increase length requirements for the rotary shaft and/or increase distance requirements between rotary shaft bearings. The imposition of these requirements often results in larger, less compact motor-compressor arrangements as compared to previous compact motor-compressors utilizing fewer compression stages.
