ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for compressing fluid by passing said fluid through a rotating continuous flow centrifuge wherein said fluid is pressurized by centrifugal action on said fluid by said centrifuge rotor. Said rotor is provided with passageways for said fluid with vanes placed therewithin for assuring that the fluid will rotate with said rotor. After compressing occurs, said fluid is passed in compressed state to a second rotor wherein energy contained in said fluid is converted to work, with said fluid being passed within fluid passageways in said second rotor inwardly to an exit at center, with vanes ensuring that said fluid second rotor will rotate with said fluid for receiving the work associated with deceleration of said fluid. Cooling may be provided during compression of said fluid by circulating a coolant in heat exchange relationship with said fluid. Nozzles may be provided near the first rotor periphery for decelerating said first fluid. Fluids being compressed may be gases or gases with minor amounts of liquid, such as air, or halogenated hydrocarbons.
