DEVELOPMENT OF CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSORS
Coolant flow for gas-cooled in-pile loops must be supplied during irradiation test runs. A centrifugal compressor has been designed and developed for circulating helium at volume flows from 75 to 250 acfm at compressor suction conditions of 400 psi and 600 deg F. The compressor using grease-lubricated ball bearings has operated satnksfactorily for a total of 3500 hr. (auth)
