Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a centrifugal compressor, and particularly to a centrifugal compressor with a large flow rate.
- For improving the performances of products such as superchargers, gas turbines, and industrial compressors, it is a critical issue to increase the 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.
- One of the problems associated with the increase in flow rate is a decrease in efficiency. For this reason, a technique of increasing the flow rate while suppressing the decrease in efficiency is industrially very significant.
- A conventional centrifugal compressor will be described by using
FIG. 6 . The centrifugal compressor mainly includes asuction inlet 1, animpeller 2, ahub 3, a rotary shaft 4, adiffuser 5, and ascroll 6. - The
impeller 2 is connected to the rotary shaft 4 via thehub 3. Thediffuser 5 is provided downstream of theimpeller 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. Moreover, thescroll 6 is provided downstream of thediffuser 5 and communicates with the outlet of thediffuser 5. - The
suction inlet 1 plays a roll of guiding a gas to theimpeller 2. The centrifugal compressor is configured such that the gas guided to theimpeller 2 is sucked into the centrifugal compressor by theimpeller 2 being rotated by the rotary shaft 4. The velocity of the gas having passed through theimpeller 2 is decreased, and the pressure of the gas is increased, in thediffuser 5. The gas having passed through thediffuser 5 flows into thescroll 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 thediffuser 5 and theimpeller 2 of the conventional centrifugal compressor. The more the velocity vector of the gas (the arrow in the figure) is directed in a radial direction in the meridian plane, the less the energy loss is. However, a large flow rate causes the velocity distribution of the gas sacked through animpeller inlet 2 a to be skewed to thehub 3 side at animpeller outlet 2 b. As a result, the velocity vector is inclined toward an axial direction from the radial direction. In addition, if the gas flows further inside thediffuser 5 in this state, the velocity distribution is further skewed to become a cause of occurrence of shear stress, reducing the amount of static pressure recovery, and in turn leading to a decrease in efficiency of the entire compressor. - To solve the above-described problem, there is a method of bringing the velocity distribution of the gas into a more uniform distribution by providing the inside of the diffuser with a guide blade (see Patent Document 1) or a guide flow passage to the impeller inlet (see Patent Document 2).
- PATENT DOCUMENT 1: Japanese Patent No. 2569143
- PATENT DOCUMENT 2: Japanese Patent No. 2703055
- However, the above-described apparatuses require that new mechanisms should be provided in the diffuser, and have a possibility that the production costs and working hours are wasted.
- In view of this, 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:
- an impeller connected to a rotary shaft via a hub; and
- a diffuser provided downstream of the impeller, the diffuser having a flow passage which extends in a direction away from the rotary shaft and an outlet which is directed in a radial direction in a meridian plane, characterized in that
- the centrifugal compressor satisfies θ−α>0°
- where
- θ is an angle formed by a diffuser inlet hub-side line with the radial direction in the meridian plane at a point closest to an outlet of the impeller in the diffuser inlet hub-side line, the diffuser inlet hub-side line being a line on the hub side in an inlet of the diffuser, and
- α is an angle formed by a tangent line of an impeller hub-side line with the radial direction in the meridian plane at a point closest to the inlet of the diffuser in the impeller hub-side line, the impeller hub-side line being a line on the hub side in the impeller.
- 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 θ is such that 0°<θ<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.
- According to the centrifugal compressor of the first invention, since θ−α>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.
- According to the centrifugal compressor of the second invention, since 0°<θ<34°, the skewing of the velocity distribution of the gas can be further eliminated.
- According to the centrifugal compressor of the third invention, since 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.

FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of a diffuser and an impeller of the conventional centrifugal compressor. - Hereinafter, a centrifugal compressor according to the present invention will be described referring to embodiments by use of the drawings.
- An apparatus according to
Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described by use ofFIG. 1 . The apparatus mainly includes asuction inlet 1, animpeller 2, ahub 3, a rotary shaft 4, adiffuser 5, and ascroll 6, as in the case of the conventional centrifugal compressor. Theimpeller 2 is connected to the rotary shaft 4 via thehub 3. In addition, thediffuser 5 is provided downstream of theimpeller 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. Moreover, thescroll 6 is provided downstream of thediffuser 5, and communicates with an outlet of thediffuser 5. Note that the rotary shaft 4 and thescroll 6 are not shown inFIG. 1 , but are assumed to be the same as those of the conventional technical. - Furthermore, like the conventional technique, the
suction inlet 1 plays a role of guiding a gas to theimpeller 2. The centrifugal compressor is configured such that the gas guided to theimpeller 2 is sucked into the centrifugal compressor by theimpeller 2 being rotated by the rotary shaft 4. The velocity of the gas having passed through theimpeller 2 is decreased, and the pressure of the gas is increased, in thediffuser 5. The gas having passed through thediffuser 5 flows into thescroll 6, and thereafter flows into a discharge port. - Here, a line on the
hub 3 side in the inlet of the diffuser 5 (hereinafter, stated as a diffuser inlet hub-side line 5 a) is inclined toward an axial direction from the radial direction in the meridian plane. At this time, an angle formed by the diffuser inlet hub-side line 5 a with the radial direction at a point B closest to theimpeller outlet 2 b in the diffuser inlet hub-side line 5 a is represented by θ. - Next, an angle formed by a
tangent line 3 b of a line on thehub 3 side in the impeller 2 (hereinafter, stated as an impeller hub-side line 3 a) with the radial direction at a point A closest to an inlet of thediffuser 5 in the impeller hub-side line 3 a is represented by α. - The conventional technique is set such that θ=α in order to smoothly connect the impeller hub-
side line 3 a and the diffuser inlet hub-side line 5 a. On the other hand, the present apparatus is set such that θ−α>0° as shown inFIG. 5 , and further θ is set such that 0°<θ<34°. - In addition, an angle formed by the impeller
rear edge 2 c with the axial direction is represented by β. Here, β has not necessary to be limited, but is set such that 0°≦β≦35°, which is a value used in a general centrifugal compressor. - Note that a line of the
shroud 7 is also inclined in conjunction with the inclination of θ to confirm with a diffuser width ratio of the conventional shape. The diffuser width ratio is b3/b2 (seeFIG. 1 ), and has a value set for each impeller. In general, the value of the diffuser width ratio is set such that b3/b2=0.6 to 1.0. - With the above-described structure, while the velocity vector of the gas at the time when the gas has flowed from the
impeller outlet 2 b to thediffuser 5 is not changed from that of the conventional one, the skewing of the velocity distribution can be suppressed. -
FIG. 2 shows a result of simulation of the compressor efficiency of the present apparatus, conducted under conditions that α and β are certain constant values and only θ is a variable. In a graph ofFIG. 2 , the horizontal axis represents θ 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°<θ<34°. - Accordingly, in the present apparatus, 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.
- An apparatus according to
Embodiment 2 of the present invention is one obtained by improving the apparatus according toEmbodiment 1.FIG. 4 shows differences between the apparatus according toEmbodiment 1 and the present apparatus. In the apparatus according toEmbodiment 1, since the diffuser inlet hub-side line 5 a is a straight line, directing the outlet of thediffuser 5 in the radial direction requires that the angle of thediffuser 5 has to be changed at a certain portion. As a result, as shown inFIG. 4 , astagnation region 11 where the flow of the gas stagnates is formed. Shear stress acts between the gas stagnating in thestagnation region 11 and the flowing gas, leading to a possibility of occurrence of an energy loss. The present apparatus reduces thestagnation region 11. - As in the case of the apparatus according to
Embodiment 1, as shown inFIG. 3 , the present apparatus mainly includes asuction inlet 1, animpeller 2, ahub 3, a rotary shaft 4, adiffuser 5, and ascroll 6. Theimpeller 2 is connected to the rotary shaft 4 via thehub 3. Thediffuser 5 is provided downstream of theimpeller 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. Moreover, thescroll 6 is provided downstream of thediffuser 5 and communicates with the outlet of thediffuser 5. Note that the rotary shaft 4 and thescroll 6 are not shown inFIG. 3 , but are assumed to be the same as those of the conventional technique. Furthermore, the operation of the present apparatus is also the same as those of the apparatus according toEmbodiment 1 and of the conventional technique, and is accordingly omitted. - Here, in the present apparatus, the diffuser inlet hub-
side line 5 b is made to be a concave curved line. An angle formed by atangent line 5 c of the diffuser inlet hub-side line 5 b with a radial direction at a point B closest to animpeller outlet 2 b in the diffuser inlet hub-side line 5 b is represented by θ. The line of theshroud 7, α, and β are set such that θ−α>0° as shown inFIG. 5 , and further θ is set such that 0°<θ<34° as in the case of the apparatus according toEmbodiment 1. Note that the diffuser inlet hub-side line 5 b 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. - With the above-described structure, as shown in
FIG. 4 , the present apparatus can reduce thestagnation region 11, which exists in the case of the apparatus according toEmbodiment 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.
