Are all centrifugal compressor big ?

[couf2703]

Hi,

i'm comparing differents types of compressor to find out which one I'm going to convert into a turbine for my rankine cycle projet. And I'm wondering : are centrifugal compressors only for big power because the smallest i can find is 50 hp (which is the smallest turbo of garrett). I'm looking for centrifugal comp in the range of 1 or 2 hp. anybody know something about that ?

Thanks
Fred

In my line of work, all centrifugal compressors are small. But in your case you might start looking at turbochargers.
