A centrifugal compressor acts very much like a centrifugal fan, compressing the vapor flowing through it by spinning it from the center of an impeller wheel radially outward, allowing centrifugal forces to compress the vapor. Some machines use multiple impellers to compress the refrigerant in stages.
Variable speed centrifugal chillers are now offered by all of the major manufacturers and offer energy performance that is superior to traditional constant speed chillers under most conditions-particularly part load operation. Chillers equipped with VFDs typically have IPLV values between 0.35 and 0.45 kW/ton, which is considerably better than their constant speed brethren. Some manufacturers are fairly new to the VFD chiller market, however, so it pays to research the track record of specific products before you make a purchase.
