연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

초록

Centrifugal compressor flow stabilizing devices and methods of operation thereof are disclosed that act upon the flow field discharging from the impeller of a centrifugal compressor and modify the flow field ahead of the diffuser vanes such that flow conditions contributing to rotating stall and surge are reduced or even eliminated. In some embodiments, shaped rods and methods of operation thereof are disclosed, whereas in other embodiments reverse-tangent air injection devices and methods are disclosed.

The centrifugal compressor according to claim 1, wherein said diffuser has a passage throat and wherein said shaped rod is moveable outward past said guide sleeve so as to act upon fluid flow within said vaneless and semi-vaneless regions of said diffuser so as to reduce diffusion ahead of said diffuser passage throat. 3. The centrifugal compressor according to claim 1, wherein said diffuser has a passage throat and wherein said guide sleeve is moveable relative to a surface adjacent said vaneless regions so as to provide a variation in flow area surrounding said shaped rod in order to modify the action of said rod upon fluid flow within said vaneless and semi-vaneless regions of said diffuser. 4. The centrifugal compressor according to claim 1, wherein said diffuser has at least one vane having a leading edge and wherein said shaped rod is moved outward past said guide sleeve so as to act upon the fluid flow within the vaneless and semi-vaneless regions of the diffuser and so as to reduce flow angle and incidence angle of flow at the vane leading edge. 5. The centrifugal compressor according to claim 4, wherein said impeller has a geometry that supports a known number of maximum harmonics each representative of a backward traveling rotating stall wave disturbance and wherein said reduction in flow angle renders a harmonic number that is greater than said number of maximum harmonics. 6. The centrifugal compressor according to claim 1, wherein said diffuser has at least one vane having a leading edge and having a passage throat, wherein said shaped rod is moveable outward past said guide sleeve so as to act upon the fluid flow within the vaneless and semi-vaneless regions of the diffuser so as to reduce pressure loading at the leading edge of the vane. 7. The centrifugal compressor according to claim 1, wherein said shaped rod is shaped so as to act upon and control the fluid flow present within said diffuser. 8.
