Abstract:Centrifugal compressors require a wide operating range as well as high efficiency. Typical active control forms to enhance the operating range are suction throttling with a valve in a suction line, discharge throttling with a ring installed in a vaneless diffuser, variable inlet guide vanes, and variable geometry vaned diffuser. This study focuses on the design of a variable geometry vaned diffuser (VVD) whose vane rotates around a pivot to adjust its opening and proposes a method to estimate the main paramete… Show more
