Expansion Type Compressor

Expansion Type Compressor. Isentropic (or adiabatic) compression/expansion processes if compression or expansion of gas takes place with no flow of heat energy either into or out. The radial inflow expansion turbine and a centrifugal (booster) compressor combined.

A familiar example of this type of machine is an automotive turbocharger, where the expansion of hot exhaust gasses drives a compressor which provides pressurized engine combustion air. It consists of two (2) primary components; An expander compressor is a device that combines two key functions—gas expansion and compression—into one unit.
