Centrifugal Compressor Demonstration Unit
Product Code : JA-FMAHLE-9969
The Centrifugal Compressor Demonstration Unit (SKU JA-FMAHLE-9969) is a small-scale multi-stage compressor set-up for showing how a centrifugal compressor builds up pressure stage by stage. The seven-stage compressor, inlet duct, outlet duct and adjustable aperture are mounted on a stainless steel base, with sensors for head pressure, flow rate and air temperature. JaincoLab supplies this centrifugal compressor demonstration unit to engineering colleges for turbomachinery practicals.
Specifications
The compressor has seven stages; flow rate is measured with an orifice plate, and electronic sensors record head pressure and air temperature for logging on a PC. Motor rating, speed, flow and pressure ratings are not listed and are confirmed on the quotation.

Applications of the centrifugal compressor unit
The centrifugal compressor unit lets students vary the outlet aperture and record head pressure against flow rate, so they can plot compressor characteristics and compare a multi-stage compressor with single-stage fans in turbomachinery and fluid mechanics practicals.
- Demonstrating a multi-stage centrifugal compressor in operation
- Plotting head pressure against flow rate with the adjustable aperture
- Comparing the compressor with the centrifugal and axial fan units
- Turbomachinery practicals in mechanical and aeronautical engineering courses
