Centrifugal compressors compared to reciprocating compressors__________________?
Correct answer: D. All A., B. and C.
- A. Require less space
- B. Have quieter operation
- C. Have lower operating costs
- D. All A., B. and C.
Explanation
Centrifugal compressors are compact, produce less noise and vibration, and generally have lower maintenance and operating costs than reciprocating compressors. Thus, all three comparisons are applicable.
