Centrifugal steam compressor (gearbox)
The company primarily researches, develops, and manufactures centrifugal steam compressors and their associated products, with a particular focus on centrifugal steam compressors for evaporation and distillation systems. It is capable of designing and producing the following products:
High-speed direct-drive vapor-compression compressor
The structure of a high-speed direct-drive vapor-compression compressor is primarily divided into two main components: the motor and the compressor. When the motor rotates, it drives the compressor via a drive mechanism, drawing gas into the low-pressure chamber, compressing it within the compressor to the high-pressure chamber, and finally discharging the high-pressure gas. Because the compressor is directly driven by a high-speed motor, system efficiency is improved, noise levels are reduced, and the footprint is minimized.
Common forms of MVR evaporation
Common MVR evaporation configurations include: MVR plate evaporators, MVR tubular forced-circulation evaporators, and MVR tubular thin-film evaporators.
Introduction to the structure of centrifugal compressors
The main types of steam compressors commonly used are Roots-type, centrifugal, and axial‑flow. Centrifugal fans are typically employed as auxiliary air‑supply equipment and are not listed alongside compressors. Roots compressors are primarily suited for low‑flow applications, while axial‑flow compressors are designed for high‑flow conditions and are usually configured as multi‑stage systems. The most widely used steam compressors are centrifugal fans and centrifugal compressors.
Working principle of the compressor
For cost considerations, single-stage centrifugal compressors and high-pressure blowers are the most widely used in mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) systems; the following discussion will focus on these configurations.
Comparison of MVR, multi-effect evaporation, and TVR ( thermal vapor recompression ) technologies
MVR technology compresses the secondary steam that would otherwise require condensation to a higher pressure using a compressor, thereby increasing its internal energy. This enables continuous recirculation and reuse of this energy, replacing fresh steam. By consuming only a minimal amount of electrical energy, it allows the substantial internal energy of low-pressure steam to be recovered and reused.

★ Delivers significant energy savings for users ★ Effectively reduces new project capital investment for users ★ Makes full use of existing evaporation equipment ★ Maintains or increases the original evaporation capacity ★ Preserves or enhances the existing evaporation process
Product Description: Heat pump distillation technology replaces the conventional process’s consumption of one ton of steam with 40–120 kWh of electricity (depending on the temperature difference between the tower top and reboiler). Product Keywords: Heat Pump Distillation
Turbovaps can custom‑manufacture steam‑boosting compressors to meet specific customer requirements. To date, it has a proven track record across a wide range of applications, with inlet pressures as low as 6 kPa absolute (corresponding to saturated water vapor at 37°C) and outlet pressures up to 1,500 kPa absolute (saturated water vapor at 200°C). These units are ideally suited for situations where plant steam supply pressure is insufficient or when low‑pressure by‑product steam cannot be utilized. Typically, for every doubling of steam pressure (absolute), power consumption increases by approximately 40 kWh; in most operating conditions, the investment can be recouped relatively quickly.
