Experimental Investigation on Centrifugal Compressor Blade Crack Classification Using the Squared Envelope Spectrum

Experimental Investigation on Centrifugal Compressor Blade Crack Classification Using the Squared Envelope Spectrum

Centrifugal compressors are a key piece of equipment for modern production. Among the components of the centrifugal compressor, the impeller is a pivotal part as it is used to transform kinetic energy into pressure energy. Blade crack condition monitoring and classification has been broadly investigated in the industrial and academic area. In this research, a pressure pulsation (PP) sensor arra...

Experimental Research on Surge and Stability Enhancement of Centrifugal Compressor

Influence of Vaned Diffuser on Dangerous Blade Vibration Due to Blade Flow Interactions in a Centrifugal Compressor

Influence of diffuser vane position on dangerous blade vibration due to blade flow interactions at part load operating condition was investigated in a centrifugal compressor. By means of some measurement and analysis techniques a mechanism of interaction between blade vibration and circumferential flow condition in the impeller with vaned diffuser was determined, which is a cause of dangerous b...

An Aerodynamic Investigation of a Centrifugal Compressor for HCFC123

The experimental investigation of a centrifugal compresso r is carried out to improve HCFC123 compression performance. A CFCll c ompressor applying HCFC123 shows a lowered adiabatic head rise, efficie ncy, and volume flow. Another CFC!l compressor with HCFC123 and a modifie d impeller shows a result comparable to the CFCll compression case. A tan dem impeller is designed to cover the volume flo...

An Investigation of the Effective Factors in the Shape Rolling Process of a Compressor Blade

One of the most popular forming processes is the shape rolling process in which the desired shape change is achieved by pressing two rollers with a special shape in the opposite rotational direction. In order to improve the product’s quality and reduce production costs, accurate analysis of the shape rolling process of the compressor blades as well as the investigation of the effective paramete...
