Importance of anti-surge control systems

Q: What's the importance of an anti-surge control system in centrifugal compressors?

A: An anti-surge control is recommended for all centrifugal compressor applications. The purpose of an anti-surge control is to keep the compressor from going into surge on reduced flow. Surge is an instability exhibited by a centrifugal as flow is reduced below the surge point.
