Advantages
In general Centrifugal Compressors have these characteristics Discharge flow is relatively free of pulsation. Mechanical design permits high through puts, capacity limitation is rarely a problem. Centrifugal Compressors are capable efficient performance over a wide range of pressure and capacities even at constant speed operation. These are relatively small, occupy less space, operate with minimum attention and quieter. Less contamination due to lubricants.
SSB
Disadvantages
Less efficient for small volumes. Discharge pressure limitation. Effect of gas density and temperature. Problem of surge phenomenon.

Working Principle
The working principle is based upon the conversion of dynamic energy into static energy, i.e., from velocity into pressure. The specific compression energy transmitted to the gas by the impeller is called "head." The discharge pressure of a turbo compressor, which is affected by gas inlet conditions, is a function of head.

Absolute Velocity C
Absolute Velocity of Gas C Its two Components are; A) Relative inlet velocity W ( Parallel to blade) B) Local Blade Velocity U ( Perpendicular to Impeller Radius ) The Combination of absolute, relative and local blade velocities is known as velocity triangle of gas

Velocity Triangle
Tangential Velocity CU The component of absolute velocity C, with the same direction as blade velocity Momentum = Radius of Impeller * Tangential Velocity Work Performed Change in momentum from inlet to discharge of impeller, multiplied by the angular velocity, represents the work performed by impeller blade on unit mass

Stall
This usually happens in a low flow stage as it approaches the surge. Stall is caused by the destabilization of the impeller or diffuser flow or by unsteady interaction between the impeller and diffuser
