what are the reasons that affect centrifugal compressor flow rate?
 
Naeim,

Density of the gas can change (because of change in temperature and/or composition)
Speed (if you have a constant speed motor this may not be the case)
Fouling of the internals
Internal leakages due to worn out labyrinths
More leakage across the balance line, if you have one.
Change in discharge pressure


Etc…





Regards,

Guru
