PROGRESS OF COMPRESSOR TECHNOLOGIES IN THE PAST DECADES AND THEIR DEVELOPMENT TREND IN NEAR FUTURE

摘要

Since the seventies of 20th century, the compressor technologies have been rapidly developing in design, manufacture, specifications and performances including reliability with the progresses of the material, machining, measuring, computation, simulation, fault diagnosis control, test, and so on, which promote the technology development of coherent industries, such as petrochemical, metallurgy, refrigeration, power, etc. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the situation of compressor technologies, to analyze the technology puzzles faced, to explore the development trends in the future, and to promote technology development of compressors and relative industries.
