These types of plots are fundamental to understanding centrifugal compressor performance at one operating point. 18. Three main loading devices used in turboexpanders are centrifugal compressors , electrical generators or hydraulic brakes. 19. Whittle's designs were more basic, with centrifugal compressors rather than the more complicated axial designs. 20. A simple centrifugal compressor has four components : inlet, impeller / rotor, diffuser, and collector.
