Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to an impeller, a centrifugal compressor, and a refrigeration cycle apparatus.
  • an impeller applies kinetic energy to a fluid in a manner in which the fluid inhaled is accelerated mainly in a direction of the tangent of rotation.
  • the impeller typically has an approximately truncated cone shape and rotates about a line connecting the center of its upper surface having a small diameter and the center of its lower surface having a large diameter.
  • an impeller has wings (blades) radially arranged.
  • each wing collides, at an angle, with a fluid inhaled into a centrifugal compressor.
  • the collision makes a difference in velocity between the front surface (suction surface) and back surface (pressure surface) of the wing, applying kinetic energy to the fluid.
  • an increase in the radius of gyration of the impeller increases a velocity component of the fluid mainly in the direction of the tangent of rotation.
  • the increase in the velocity component is at its maximum, and the total amount of the kinetic energy applied to the fluid is determined.
  • the impeller is designed such that the sectional area throughout the wing gradually decreases from the leading edge of the wing to the trailing edge thereof, the velocity of the fluid in the direction parallel to the front surface of the wing can be prevented from decreasing.
  • the velocity of the fluid in the inside (channels between the wings) of the impeller depends on a pressure ratio for which a compressor equipped with the impeller is required.
  • a pressure ratio for which a compressor equipped with the impeller is required For example, in the case where the fluid to be compressed is air, and in the case of a compressor having a pressure ratio of more than 4, the velocity (relative velocity) of the fluid when the fluid is seen from the wing side at the leading edge of the wing reaches a transonic speed.
  • a centrifugal compressor whose target pressure ratio is 8 is described in Colin Osborne et al.
  • the flow of the fluid in channels between the wings of the impeller is very complex.
  • a vortex flow vortex flow having a high vorticity of flow
  • a low velocity and a high intensity is created, and accordingly, an efficient application of kinetic energy to the fluid from the wings is hindered.
  • the friction of the fluid in the vortex flow causes a loss. This lowers the pressure ratio and an adiabatic efficiency.
  • One non-limiting and exemplary embodiment provides a technique for appropriately adjusting the distribution of the velocity of the fluid in the channels between the wings and for improving the efficiency of the centrifugal compressor.
  • the techniques disclosed here feature an impeller for a centrifugal compressor including a hub that has an upper surface, a lower surface, and an outer surface, and wings that are fixed to the hub and that are arranged radially around the outer surface of the hub.
  • Awing has a leading edge portion and a body portion. The wing is each of the wings.
  • the leading edge portion is positioned on an upper surface side of the hub.
  • the body portion is positioned on a lower surface side of the hub.
  • the leading edge portion includes a leading edge.
  • a tip of the leading edge portion and a tip of the body portion extend from the upper surface side of the hub toward the lower surface side of the hub on a side opposite to a side where the wing is fixed to the hub.
  • a profile of the tip of the leading edge portion has a linear shape and a profile of the tip of the body portion has a curved shape.
  • the distribution of the velocity of the fluid in the channels between the wings can be appropriately adjusted to improve the efficiency of the centrifugal compressor.
  • the present inventors have analyzed the flow of a fluid (for example, water vapor) in the inside (channels between wings) of an impeller in detail and consequently found that merging and breakdown of large vortex flows result in the production of a region in which a flow is blocked (region in which the velocity of the flow is very low) inside the impeller.
  • the present inventors have diligently examined the shape of a wing that enables the large vortex flows to be inhibited from merging and breaking down and consequently considered the impeller according to the present disclosure.
  • An impeller according to a first aspect of the present disclosure is an impeller for a centrifugal compressor including a hub that has an upper surface, a lower surface, and an outer surface, and wings that are fixed to the hub and that are arranged radially around the outer surface of the hub.

  • a profile of the tip of the leading edge portion has a linear shape and a profile of the tip of the body portion has a curved shape.
  • the impeller according to the first aspect even when the separation of a boundary layer and/or a leakage flow at the wing edge cause high-intensity vortex flows to be produced in the inside (channels between the wings) of the impeller, the vortex flows can be inhibited from merging and becoming large.

  • a centrifugal compressor as a component of a motor such as a supercharger or a gas turbine that uses air as a working fluid is assumed.
  • the Reynolds number Re is expressed by the following formula (1).
  • [Formula 1] Re ⁇ ⁇ R T ⁇ W T v
  • centrifugal compressors used in, for example, air-conditioning apparatuses
  • a compressible fluid other than air is used as the working fluid.
  • a decrease in the viscosity of the working fluid decreases Re to about 10 4 .
  • These cases have a problem in that high-intensity vortex flows are frequently created from the surface of the hub and the surface of the wings. Mutual influence between the high-intensity vortex flows causes a large disturbance inside the impeller. Consequently, the performance of the centrifugal compressors is greatly reduced.
  • the profile of the tip 210a of a wing 210 on the pressure surface side and the profile of the tip 210b of the wing 210 on the suction surface side have a curved shape overall. Accordingly, a fluid that collides with a leading edge 210c is immediately accelerated. In this case, mutual influence between the high-intensity vortex flows is likely to cause a large disturbance inside the impeller.
  • each main wing 21 has the leading edge portion 24. Since the profile of the tip 35 of the leading edge portion 24 has a linear shape, the fluid is unlikely to be accelerated at the leading edge portion 24. Consequently, the boundary layer is inhibited from expanding, and a position at which a low-energy, high-intensity vortex flow due to the separation of the boundary layer is created shifts to the side that is more downstream than in the case of the conventional wing 210 ( Fig. 7 ).
  • the flows are decelerated on the side of the suction surface 21q of the leading edge portion 24 and accelerated on the side of the pressure surface 21p. Since the flows are decelerated on the side of the suction surface 21q, the boundary layer is inhibited from expanding and from being separated. Since the flows are accelerated on the pressure surface side, a low-energy flow that is created on the side of the suction surface 21q of the adjacent main wing 21 due to the separated boundary layer can be diverted. The low-energy flow can be prevented from being maintained on the pressure surface 21p and re-collides with the suction surface 21q of the main wing 21 from which the flow has been separated. This inhibits the disturbance of the velocity distribution of the fluid on the pressure surface 21p of the main wing 21 due to a secondary flow originated from the adjacent main wing 21 and enables the velocity distribution to be appropriately adjusted.
  • the profile of the tip 35 of the leading edge portion 24 includes a first upstream portion 35a on the side of the pressure surface 21p and a second upstream portion 35b on the side of the suction surface 21q.
  • the first upstream portion 35a and the second upstream portion 35b have a linear shape.
  • the profile of the tip 36 of the body portion 25 includes a first downstream portion 36a on the side of the pressure surface 21p and a second downstream portion 36b on the side of the suction surface 21q.
  • the first downstream portion 36a and the second downstream portion 36b have a curved shape.
  • the first downstream portion 36a and the second downstream portion 36b have a curvature so as to bend into a convex shape toward the side of the suction surface 21q.
  • each main wing 21 in the axial direction parallel to the axis O of the impeller 2 is defined as a meridional plane length L.
  • the leading edge portion 24 occupies a portion of the wing 21 extending from the leading edge 31 to a position 5% of the meridional plane length L away from the leading edge 31 in the axial direction in the projection view of the meridional plane in Fig. 2 .
  • the body portion 25 occupies a portion of the main wing 21 extending from the position 5% of the meridional plane length L away from the leading edge 31 to the trailing edge 33.
  • the leading edge portion 24 is exaggeratedly illustrated. The limitation of the range of the leading edge portion 24 to a certain degree reduces the likelihood of the wings 21 having insufficient length and accordingly enables sufficient energy to be applied to the fluid.
  • the impeller 2 has a hub-tip ratio (D1/D2) of 0.6 to 0.7.
  • the term "hub-tip ratio” means a ratio (D1/D2) of the radius D1 of the hub 20 to the radius D2 of each main wing 21 at the leading edge 31 of the main wing 21. In the case where the hub-tip ratio is in the above range, the following effects are achieved.
  • a typically designed impeller of a centrifugal compressor has a hub-tip ratio of about 0.4 to 0.5.
  • the hub-tip ratio ranges from 0.6 to 0.7
  • the inflow rate of the fluid entering the impeller 2 increases, and the pressure ratio is likely to increase.
  • the disturbance of the flow field and a reduction in performance due to the disturbance are likely to manifest themselves. Accordingly, in the case where the main wings 21 having the structure described with reference to Fig. 3A and Fig. 3B are used in the impeller having a hub-tip ratio of 0.6 to 0.7, the disturbance of the flow field can be effectively inhibited, and the pressure ratio can be increased.
  • a refrigeration cycle apparatus 200 includes a main circuit 6 through which a refrigerant circulates, a first circulation path 7 for heat absorption and a second circulation path 8 for heat dissipation.
  • the main circuit 6, the first circulation path 7, and the second circulation path 8 are filled with the refrigerant that is a liquid at a normal temperature.
  • the refrigerant is a refrigerant whose saturated vapor pressure is a negative pressure at a normal temperature (Japanese Industrial Standards: 20°C ⁇ 15°C / JIS Z8703). Examples of such a refrigerant include a refrigerant whose main component is water or alcohol.
  • the pressure of the inside of the main circuit 6, the first circulation path 7, and the second circulation path 8 is a negative pressure lower than an atmospheric pressure.
  • the term "main component" in the present disclosure means the most abundant component at a mass ratio.
  • the main circuit 6 includes an evaporator 66, a first compressor 61, an intermediate refrigerator 62, a second compressor 63, a condenser 64, and an expansion valve 65. These components are connected in this order along a channel.
  • the evaporator 66 stores a refrigerant liquid and evaporates the refrigerant liquid in the inside thereof. Specifically, the refrigerant liquid stored in the evaporator 66 circulates through the first circulation path 7 via a heat exchanger 71 for heat absorption.
  • the heat exchanger 71 for heat absorption is installed inside the room and exchanges heat between air inside the room supplied from a fan and the refrigerant liquid to cool the air.
  • the first compressor 61 and the second compressor 63 compress refrigerant vapor through two stages.
  • the centrifugal compressor 100 described above can be used as the first compressor 61.
  • the second compressor 63 may be a displacement-type compressor separated from the first compressor 61 or a centrifugal compressor (for example, the centrifugal compressor 100 described above) connected to the first compressor 61 by using the shaft 11.
  • An electric motor 67 that rotates the shaft 11 may be disposed between the first compressor 61 and the second compressor 63 or outside one of the first and second compressors. Connecting the first compressor 61 and the second compressor 63 by using the shaft 11 enables the number of the components of the first compressor 61 and the second compressor 63 to be decreased.
  • the intermediate refrigerator 62 cools the refrigerant vapor discharged from the first compressor 61 before the refrigerant vapor is inhaled into the second compressor 63.
  • the intermediate refrigerator 62 may be a direct-contact-type heat exchanger or an indirect type heat exchanger.
  • the condenser 64 condenses the refrigerant vapor in the inside thereof and stores the refrigerant liquid. Specifically, the refrigerant liquid stored in the condenser 64 circulates through the second circulation path 8 via a heat exchanger 81 for heat dissipation.
  • the heat exchanger 81 for heat dissipation is installed outside the room and exchanges heat between air outside the room supplied from a fan and the refrigerant liquid to heat the air.
  • the refrigeration cycle apparatus 200 is not necessarily an air-conditioning apparatus for cooling only.
  • a first heat exchanger installed inside a room and a second heat exchanger installed outside the room are connected to the evaporator 66 and the condenser 64 with a four-way valve interposed therebetween.
  • This achieves an air-conditioning apparatus that can change its operation between a cooling operation and a heating operation.
  • the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger both function as the heat exchanger 71 for heat absorption and the heat exchanger 81 for heat dissipation.
  • the refrigeration cycle apparatus 200 is not necessarily an air-conditioning apparatus and may be, for example, a chiller.
  • a subject to be cooled by the heat exchanger 71 for heat absorption and a subject to be heated by the heat exchanger 81 for heat dissipation may be a gas other than air or a liquid.
  • the expansion valve 65 is an example of a pressure-reducing mechanism that reduces the pressure of a condensed refrigerant liquid.
  • the pressure-reducing mechanism may be formed, for example, such that the expansion valve 65 is not disposed in the main circuit 6, and the liquid surface of the refrigerant liquid in the evaporator 66 is higher than the liquid surface of the refrigerant liquid in the condenser 64.
  • the evaporator 66 is not necessarily a direct-contact-type heat exchanger and may be an indirect type heat exchanger. In this case, a heating medium cooled in the evaporator 66 circulates through the first circulation path 7.
  • the condenser 64 is not necessarily a direct-contact-type heat exchanger and may be an indirect type heat exchanger. In this case, a heating medium heated in the condenser 64 circulates through the second circulation path 8.
  • the first compressor 61 and the second compressor 63 compress water vapor having a negative pressure.
  • the centrifugal compressor 100 described above is suitable for compressing a low-density, high-viscosity fluid such as water vapor.
  • the refrigeration cycle apparatus 200 can operate under conditions in which the flow rate of the fluid is small against the required pressure ratio, that is, the Reynolds number is low and the specific speed is low. Accordingly, the centrifugal compressor 100 described above is suitable for the refrigeration cycle apparatus 200 according to the embodiment.
  • the performance of the compressor can be maintained even under operating conditions of a low Reynolds number and a low specific speed.
  • the technique disclosed in the present disclosure is suitable for a refrigeration cycle apparatus that uses a natural refrigerant such as water vapor.
  • the performance of a small-output refrigeration cycle apparatus can be improved, and the frequency of the maintenance of the refrigeration cycle apparatus can be decreased.
