Hi there,

i am designing the GOX compressor in my design project which so far i have only found the rpm (using a centrifugal compressor)
i am now trying to cakculate the surge capacity and maxiumum capacity of which i dont know how?
would some one pls help?

What else do i also need to calculate ?
is there any text book that has the calculations?

jambo, If you are a student, you should post this in the Student Forum. Then members will know "where you're coming from" and can address their response accordingly. If you are not a student, then you should be able to refer to literature regarding your existing equipment or to vendor support if you're in the procurement mode. We really need to know your situation to provide the best benefit to you and the forums.  Also, kindly define GOX.  The general public AND the general engineering public do not know what it means.

Dear djack77494
ok , sorry and i will post it in the student forum.
Any way the GOX compressor is used to compress Oxygen gas coming off the high low pressure column at around 99.6% purity before compression and heading to the supplier.
The type of compressor is a centrifugal compressor and the gas is compressed from 99.50kpa to 4350 kpa ( all this was simulated in hysys).Inlet temperature -183.4 and outlet temperature 48.89 0c.
I found the material needed (thanks any way) to calculate but now am trying to develope a surge curve in hysys of which i have no clue!
