AXIAL-FLOW COMPRESSORS
AV and A axial series: sized by rotor hub diameter
Shaangu's official product pages also describe an axial-compressor line, separate from the three centrifugal arrangements above. It has two series: AV, with adjustable stator vanes, and A, with fixed stator vanes. Within each series the model number is the rotor hub diameter. The published range for the line is 2 to 22 stages and a pressure ratio of 1.2 to 9.
Published axial model sizes| Series | Stator vanes | Model sizes |
|---|
| AV | Adjustable | AV40, AV45, AV50, AV56, AV63, AV71, AV80, AV90, AV100, AV112, AV125, AV140 |
|---|
| A | Fixed | A40, A45, A50, A56, A63, A71, A80, A90, A100, A112 |

Listed applications include blast-furnace blowing, including blowers combined on one train with blast-furnace top-pressure or sinter waste-heat energy-recovery turbines (BPRT, STRT, SHRT, BCRT) or with steam-turbine generation (BCSG); FCC main air blowers; nitric-acid, sulphuric-acid and PTA air duties; propane-dehydrogenation regeneration-gas compression; pharmaceutical air; and exhaust compression for test stands and wind tunnels.
A model size is not a duty, and the stage and pressure-ratio figures are limits for the whole line, not values for one machine. For an axial enquiry, give the inlet volume flow and conditions, the discharge pressure, the operating envelope and surge-control requirement, the driver (motor, steam turbine or a shared shaft with an energy-recovery turbine) and the plant interfaces.
