Axial Flow Compressor Market : Introduction An axial flow compressor is a gas compressor that can continuously pressurize gases. It is a rotating, airfoil-based compressor in which the gas or working fluid principally flows parallel to the axis of rotation, or axially. The basic components of an axial flow compressor are rotor blades and stator or stationary blades, the former carrying the moving blades and the latter the stationary rows of blades. The energy level of fluid increases as it flows through the compressor due to the action of the rotor blades which exerts a torque on the fluid. The stationary blades slows the fluid, converting the circumferential component of flow into pressure. Compressors are typically driven by a gas turbine, electric motor, or a steam. An axial flow compressor differs from other rotating compressors (axi-centrifugal compressors, mixed-flow compressors, and centrifugal compressors), where the fluid flow includes a "radial component" t...
