6 Ciaims. (Cl. 230-120) This invention relates particularly to radial diffusion compressors having a peripheral or tangential discharge.
An object of the invention is to provide an efiicient compressor capable of a high pressure rise per stage.
Another object is to provide a compressor utilizing radial diffusion which can efliciently discharge fluid in an outward or tangential direction.
The above objects are accomplished by the means illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which- Fig. l is an axial section through a compressor according to this invention;
Fig. 2 is a front view of armor of this invention;
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary development. of. the bladingof the rotor; and
Fig. 4 is a rear view of the compressor of Fig. 1.
In one form of the compressor. of this inventionfluid is diffused in the radial direction in a passage having .a generally axial direction of increasing radial depth and directed from the rotor with an axial component of velocity small relative to the peripheral component.
Referring now to the drawings the compressor isindicated generally as 10. It is comprised of the bladed rotor 12 mounted for rotation in the bearings 14' and 15. The rotor has the peripherally spaced blades 20 about the hub 22 defining the passages 24 therebetween. These passages have their inlets 26 at the front and their exits 28 at the rear of the rotor to discharge fluid from the rotor in the general axial direction relative to the rotor.
The hub increases in diameter rearwardand the blades are substantially sealed to the hub along amajor portion of the length of the blade to facilitate the attainment of a substantial pressure rise in the pumped fluid.
The case 16 is comprised of the rotor housing 30 and the case portion or collector 32. The inlet to the compressor is 34.
Each rotor passage increases in radial depth and cross sectional area along the forward portion 40 and decreases in radial depth along the rearward portion 42 while maintaining the cross sectional area substantially constant. This is accomplished by curving the blades along the chordwise direction, that is, chordwise toward the direction of rotation along the rear portion of the passage. Due to the curvature and the. originalpositive pitch angle 6 Fig. 3 of the blades the cross sectional width between the blades increases along the rear portion of the passage permitting a reduction of the radial depth for the same cross sectional area as the rear of the forward portion of the passage. The pitch angle of the blades is also the pitch angle of each passage.
The radial increase in depth preferablyresults inzalarge ratio of the cross sectional area at the exit to the cross sectional area at the inlet to each rotor passage. Aprefer-red value for moderate peripheralspeeds is from about 2 to about 4.
The maximum angle of diffusion-D between the outer wall bounding the rotor passages (such as housing '30) and the peripheral surface of the hub 22- can be very large because centrifugal pressure will keep the flow againstthe outer wall and preclude separation therefrom. Also at the hub theincrease in the pressure outward from the hub will keep the flow from separating therefrom. Values of D as high as 60 may be used efliciently although for most purposes the prefererd. range is from 15 to 4S.
It is important to difiuse the fluid in the rotor passages rapidly so as to keep the axial length of the rotor to a small dimension. The rotor length may be kept to a value comparable to the maximum radial depth. of the rotor passages. Thus the axial. length can be less. than half the tip diameter of the blades.
By making the diffusion ratio of large value the axial velocity of the fluid relative to the rotor is small. By curving the blades in the direction of rotation the fluid is given a high peripheral velocity so that the direction of the fluid flow from the rotor relative .to the case is very close. to the. plane of rotation. This improves the efiiciency with which the collector 32 can operate incollecting the fluid and discharging it out the discharge duct 50 which directs thefluid outward transversely to the, rotor exits.
In .Fig. 3 the. axial velocity relative to the rotor is 52 and the peripheral velocity is 54 giving a resultant or absolute velocity 56 whichmakes a very fiat angle with theplaneof rotation.
Another advantage of curving the blades is that theexit has shorter radial depth so that there is. less difference in peripheral velocity radially across the flow. Also the average peripheral velocity imparted to the fluid is higher.
Preferably the forward portion 40 of each rotor. pas- ,sagesis substantially straight withtheaft portions curved along the chordwise preferably toward the direction of rotation. However a small amount of curvature can be used in the forward portion. Also the cross sectional areas of thepassages 24-may increase somewhat rearward along the aft portions of the passages but the rateiof increase of. cross sectional area along the aft portion should be substantially less than along the forward portion. If there were a substantial increaseincross sectional. areasthe flow would separate from the. aft portions ofthe blades. Preferably the cross sectional areas should be about constant along the aftportions.
The machine. of this inventionis useful in pumpingall types of fluid.
