Single stage compression

For simplicity and reduced cost, an adsorption storage system using single stage compression is attractive, which puts a practical upper limit to the adsorption... 

Gun propellant and compressed gas are the most widely used energy sources. In single-stage, compressed-gas systems velocities can be achieved from perhaps 30 ms to 1.5 kms These compressed-gas gun systems are the most widely used as they are quite safe and can be incorporated into typical university and industrial laboratories. A typical compressed-gas gun experimental configuration is shown in Fig. 3.5.

In single stage compression, the compression ratio Is limited to about 4. 

From the values of y and the pressure ratios, it is clear that the pressure ratio for ammonia is very high for a single-stage compression. The guidelines for gas compression given in Chapter 13 indicate that propylene and propane compressions should be able to be achieved in a single compression stage, but the ammonia would seem to require two compression... 

The pressure ratio is a little high for Cycle 2 to be carried out in a single compression stage. However, single-stage compression...

Centrifugal compressors can operate at speeds from 9,000 to 50,000 rpm, with single-stage compression ratios from 1.2 to 9, and efficiencies from 30 to 85%, depending upon the specific design and application. 

Liquids are less compressible than gases, so their high-pressure equipment needs only a single-stage compression this is usually provided by an air-operated actuator (Fig. 7.13).
