Definitions
- the invention relates to a return geometry of a turbocompressor for optimized flow connection of a first and second compressor stage of the turbocompressor.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a return geometry for a turbocompressor, which reduces the risk of flow separation and minimizes the pressure loss.
- a return geometry of a turbocompressor is proposed, which is designed for the flow connection of a first and second compressor stage of the turbocompressor.
- the return geometry has a plurality of circumferentially evenly distributed, at least partially extending in the circumferential direction part spirals, at least partially separate flow channels form the flow connection of the first and second compressor stage.
- return geometry the word component "- geometry” is included, determined by but the resulting flow line through the formation of the flow channels.
- the plurality of flow channels reduces the flow cross-section of each individual flow channel and provides a more uniform inflow into the second compressor stage.
- the maximum extension width, in particular in the radial direction, of each individual channel relative to a single rotationally symmetrical return channel can be increased without large flow separations or backflows occurring at operating points with a low mass flow.
- the flow channels form a plurality of successively arranged manifolds, which deflect the flow between the first and second compressor stage several times. In this way, it is possible to realize from the radial outflow direction of the compressor impeller of the turbo compressor in the first compressor stage an optimal axial flow of the compressor impeller of the second compressor stage.
- Inlet direction which runs counter to the outflow direction
- lead Even more advantageous is the design in which the last seen in the flow direction of the manifold flow channels then directs the flow to the inflow in a second axial direction, which runs counter to the first axial direction.
- the second axial direction corresponds to the suction direction of the compressor impeller of the second compressor stage, so that a predefined inflow through the flow channels exactly to the intake the compressor impeller of the second compressor stage can take place.
- the manifolds each generate a substantially 90 ° deflection.
- the compressor impeller of the second compressor stage may be arranged in the same direction as the compressor impeller of the previous compressor stage, i. the direction of entry is the same for both compressor wheels.
- both compressor wheels may also be arranged in opposite directions, i. in so-called.
- Back to back arrangement which makes sense mainly in two-stage turbocompressors, which formed for example as a spiral Ausströmgeometrie the second compressor stage and the adjoining outlet pipe can be passed through the area between the individual partial spirals of scaffoldfashionometrie.
- the invention is not limited to two-stage turbocompressors, but also applicable to multi-stage designs.
- the flow channels of the partial spirals extend from an inlet region of the first compressor stage, in particular from the outlet region of the impeller of the first compressor stage, to an outlet region of the first compressor stage, in particular to the inlet region of the impeller of the second compressor stage, and extend in the Combine the outlet area to form a circumferentially symmetric total channel.
- the total channel then forms the inflow for or into the second compressor stage.
- an embodiment of the return geometry is characterized in that the individual flow channels in a transition to the overall channel in each case curved walls and / or curved swirl struts respectively.
- the swirl struts are designed to impart a predefined swirl to the flow upon entry into the overall channel, which effectively favors the intake by the compressor wheel of the second compressor stage.

- the guide struts divide the respective flow channel in an advantageous embodiment in the middle, so that both remaining parts of the respective flow channel are flowed through by an equal mass flow. It is also provided in a development that the guide struts extend radially outside a tongue radius of the return geometry, i. relative to a formed by the tongue radius inlet of the respective flow channel radially outwardly spaced.
- an embodiment of the return geometry is also advantageous, in which the flow channels have an axial section, in which the flow is directed in the first axial direction in the direction of the second compressor stage, and the axial section of the flow channels is designed as a diffuser.
- the formation of the respective axial section as a diffuser delays the flow, reduces friction losses and builds up a static pressure.
- the axial section of the return geometry advantageously runs parallel to an axis of rotation of the turbocompressor.
- an embodiment of the return geometry is favorable, in which the flow channels can be assigned to one of the first compressor stage Inflow radial section and one of the second compressor stage have assignable Ausströmradialab Songs, which direct the flow respectively in the inflow direction and in the outflow direction before the flow fluid preferably flows axially from the scaffoldlabgeometrie.
- the embodiment is advantageous, in which the flow channels in the outflow radial section widen in the flow direction with respect to their cross section, so that an acceleration of the flow in the outflow radial section is reduced or even avoided.
- the flow channels of the partial spirals of the return geometry are formed in a compact design by an intermediate disc housing of the turbocompressor, which separates the first compressor stage from the second compressor stage.
- the flow channels may extend in the outer peripheral surface of the washer housing.
- the flow channels of the partial spirals are formed by the intermediate disc housing and the turbo compressor housing, wherein the flow channels are formed by a channel clearance between an outer surface of the intermediate disc housing and an inner wall surface of the turbo compressor housing.
- the flow channels extend in the outer peripheral surface of the intermediate disc housing and are covered by the turbo compressor housing.

- Compressor impeller of the first compressor stage having a Axialö Stammsradius R1 and the flow channels of the sub-spirals 1969cken starting from the tongue radius R2 of the washer housing.
- the tongue radius is set by the factor 1, 4 - 1, 8 is greater than the Axialö Samuelsradius R1. Further enlargement would increase the risk of ner to avoid flow separation.
- the outflow direction of the compressor impeller of the first compressor stage and the inflow direction into the flow channels can thus with respect to the outflow angle and
- Inflow angle are matched.
- the ratio of the extent (a1) of the flow channels of the sub-spirals in the circumferential direction opposite adjacent peripheral portions (a2) is formed without flow channels, so that 0.2 ⁇ a1 / (a1 + a2) ⁇ 0.5.
