What is the role of impeller in a centrifugal compressor?

The impeller in a centrifugal compressor is used to decrease the kinetic energy of the gas or air by slowing it down.

The role of the impeller in a centrifugal compressor is to increase the kinetic energy of the gas or air by rotating and accelerating it.

The impeller in a centrifugal compressor has no role in increasing the kinetic energy of the gas or air.

The impeller in a centrifugal compressor is only used for balancing the machine and has no impact on the gas or air flow.
