The centrifugal compressor is the core component of supercritical CO₂ power cycle, and its performance and operation stability are research hotspots. However, there are few experimental studies, especially for compressors used in Mwe-scale power cycles. In this paper, based on a 1 MWe supercritical CO₂ power cycle, a single-stage centrifugal supercritical CO₂ compressor is designed with speed of 40,000 RPM, a pressure ratio of 2.5 and a mass flow of 16.3 kg/s. In order to carry out the compressor test, a general experimental platform for MWe sCO₂ compressors is built. In the test, the mass flow range is 13.5~18 kg/s and the maximum experimental pressure ratio is close to 2.0. The performance curve of the compressor of 31,000 ± 1000 RPM is obtained, and the historical curve of the experiment is given. Then, the experimental curve is compared with the design curve using a dimensionless method. The isentropic head coefficient of the experimental curve is lower than the design value, and the experimental curves shift towards the boundary of small flow coefficient. Finally, the influence of compressor inlet condensation on compressor performance and the change of operating boundary is preliminarily explained.
