Centrifugal compressors are more stable than reciprocating in terms of operation.

Centrifugal compressors are more stable than reciprocating in terms of operation. Correct Answer True

Centrifugal compressors do not have parts like valves, pistons, etc. just impeller and casing. Due to fewer parts operating at the same time, there are no unbalanced masses hence compressor operates with lesser vibrations and remains quiet too. Hence, Centrifugal compressors are more stable than reciprocating in terms of operation.
