Definitions
- the present invention relates to a centrifugal compressor, and particularly to a centrifugal compressor with a large flow rate.
- Increasing the flow rate of a centrifugal compressor means to increase the discharge flow rate of a compressor with the same shell size, and further of an impeller with the same outer diameter.
- the centrifugal compressor mainly includes a suction inlet 1, an impeller 2, a hub 3, a rotary shaft 4, a diffuser 5, and a scroll 6.
- the impeller 2 is connected to the rotary shaft 4 via the hub 3.
- the diffuser 5 is provided downstream of the impeller 2, has a flow passage extending in a direction away from the rotary shaft 4, and has an outlet directed in a radial direction in a meridian plane.
- the scroll 6 is provided downstream of the diffuser 5 and communicates with the outlet of the diffuser 5.
- the suction inlet 1 plays a roll of guiding a gas to the impeller 2.
- the centrifugal compressor is configured such that the gas guided to the impeller 2 is sucked into the centrifugal compressor by the impeller 2 being rotated by the rotary shaft 4.
- the velocity of the gas having passed through the impeller 2 is decreased, and the pressure of the gas is increased, in the diffuser 5.
- the gas having passed through the diffuser 5 flows into the scroll 6, and thereafter flows into a discharge port, which is not shown. In this way, the centrifugal compressor converts the kinetic energy of the gas to a pressure.
- FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the diffuser 5 and the impeller 2 of the conventional centrifugal compressor.
- a large flow rate causes the velocity distribution of the gas sacked through an impeller inlet 2a to be skewed to the hub 3 side at an impeller outlet 2b.
- the velocity vector is inclined toward an axial direction from the radial direction.
- an object of the present invention is to solve the problems of the conventional techniques and to achieve higher efficiency in a centrifugal compressor with a large flow rate, not by providing a new mechanism, but by changing a shape of a diffuser.
- a centrifugal compressor according to a first invention for solving the above-described problems is a centrifugal compressor comprising:
- a centrifugal compressor according to a second invention for solving the above-described problems is the centrifugal compressor according to the first invention, characterized in that the 9 is such that 0° ⁇ 34°.
- a centrifugal compressor according to a third invention for solving the above-described problems is the centrifugal compressor according to the first or second invention, characterized in that the diffuser inlet hub-side line is a concave curved line.
- centrifugal compressor of the first invention since ⁇ - ⁇ >0°, skewing of the velocity distribution of the gas is eliminated, and accordingly a decrease in amount of static pressure recovery is suppressed. Therefore, a higher efficiency of the entire compressor can be achieved.
- the centrifugal compressor of the second invention since 0° ⁇ 34°, the skewing of the velocity distribution of the gas can be further eliminated.
- the diffuser inlet hub-side line is a concave curved line, a stagnation region inside the diffuser is reduced. Therefore, a further higher efficiency can be achieved.
- the apparatus mainly includes a suction inlet 1, an impeller 2, a hub 3, a rotary shaft 4, a diffuser 5, and a scroll 6, as in the case of the conventional centrifugal compressor.
- the impeller 2 is connected to the rotary shaft 4 via the hub 3.
- the diffuser 5 is provided downstream of the impeller 2, has a flow passage directed in a direction away from the rotary shaft 4, and has an outlet directed in a radial direction in a meridian plane.
- the scroll 6 is provided downstream of the diffuser 5, and communicates with an outlet of the diffuser 5. Note that the rotary shaft 4 and the scroll 6 are not shown in FIG. 1 , but are assumed to be the same as those of the conventional technical.
- the suction inlet 1 plays a role of guiding a gas to the impeller 2.
- the centrifugal compressor is configured such that the gas guided to the impeller 2 is sucked into the centrifugal compressor by the impeller 2 being rotated by the rotary shaft 4.
- the velocity of the gas having passed through the impeller 2 is decreased, and the pressure of the gas is increased, in the diffuser 5.
- the gas having passed through the diffuser 5 flows into the scroll 6, and thereafter flows into a discharge port.
- a line on the hub 3 side in the inlet of the diffuser 5 (hereinafter, stated as a diffuser inlet hub-side line 5a) is inclined toward an axial direction from the radial direction in the meridian plane.
- ⁇ an angle formed by the diffuser inlet hub-side line 5a with the radial direction at a point B closest to the impeller outlet 2b in the diffuser inlet hub-side line 5a.
- an angle formed by a tangent line 3b of a line on the hub 3 side in the impeller 2 (hereinafter, stated as an impeller hub-side line 3a) with the radial direction at a point A closest to an inlet of the diffuser 5 in the impeller hub-side line 3a is represented by ⁇ .
- the present apparatus is set such that ⁇ - ⁇ >0° as shown in FIG. 5 , and further ⁇ is set such that 0° ⁇ 34°.
- ⁇ an angle formed by the impeller rear edge 2c with the axial direction is represented by ⁇ .
- ⁇ has not necessary to be limited, but is set such that 0 ° ⁇ 35°, which is a value used in a general centrifugal compressor.
- a line of the shroud 7 is also inclined in conjunction with the inclination of ⁇ to confirm with a diffuser width ratio of the conventional shape.
- the diffuser width ratio is b 3 /b 2 (see FIG. 1 ), and has a value set for each impeller.
- FIG. 2 shows a result of simulation of the compressor efficiency of the present apparatus, conducted under conditions that ⁇ and ⁇ are certain constant values and only ⁇ is a variable.
- the horizontal axis represents ⁇ and the vertical axis represents a compressor efficiency improvement rate.
- the compressor efficiency improvement rate represents a difference, expressed in percentage, between the compressor efficiency of the present apparatus and the compressor efficiency of the conventional technique. As becoming higher in the graph, the compressor efficiency improvement rate indicates that the compressor efficiency of the present apparatus is higher. It can be understood from the graph that the compressor efficiency is improved when 0° ⁇ 34°.
- the skewing of the velocity distribution of the gas in the diffuser which has conventionally occurred, is eliminated, and accordingly a decrease in the amount of static pressure recovery in the diffuser is suppressed. Therefore, a higher efficiency of the entire compressor can be achieved.
- FIG. 4 shows differences between the apparatus according to Embodiment 1 and the present apparatus.
- the diffuser inlet hub-side line 5a is a straight line
- directing the outlet of the diffuser 5 in the radial direction requires that the angle of the diffuser 5 has to be changed at a certain portion.
- a stagnation region 11 where the flow of the gas stagnates is formed. Shear stress acts between the gas stagnating in the stagnation region 11 and the flowing gas, leading to a possibility of occurrence of an energy loss.
- the present apparatus reduces the stagnation region 11.
- the present apparatus mainly includes a suction inlet 1, an impeller 2, a hub 3, a rotary shaft 4, a diffuser 5, and a scroll 6.
- the impeller 2 is connected to the rotary shaft 4 via the hub 3.
- the diffuser 5 is provided downstream of the impeller 2, has a flow passage extending in a direction away from the rotary shaft 4, and has an outlet directed in a radial direction in a meridian plane.
- the scroll 6 is provided downstream of the diffuser 5 and communicates with the outlet of the diffuser 5.
- the rotary shaft 4 and the scroll 6 are not shown in FIG. 3 , but are assumed to be the same as those of the conventional technique.
- the operation of the present apparatus is also the same as those of the apparatus according to Embodiment 1 and of the conventional technique, and is accordingly omitted.
- the diffuser inlet hub-side line 5b is made to be a concave curved line.
- An angle formed by a tangent line 5c of the diffuser inlet hub-side line 5b with a radial direction at a point B closest to an impeller outlet 2b in the diffuser inlet hub-side line 5b is represented by ⁇ .
- the line of the shroud 7, ⁇ , and ⁇ are set such that ⁇ - ⁇ >0° as shown in FIG. 5 , and further ⁇ is set such that 0° ⁇ 34° as in the case of the apparatus according to Embodiment 1.
- the diffuser inlet hub-side line 5b may be a single arc, or may be a line obtained by smoothly combining a plurality of arcs or ovals, as long as it is a curved line.
- the present apparatus can reduce the stagnation region 11, which exists in the case of the apparatus according to Embodiment 1. Therefore, the present apparatus can reduce shear stress and makes it possible to achieve higher efficiency.
- the present invention is favorable as a centrifugal compressor, and in particular a centrifugal compressor with a large flow rate.
