Effects of Impeller Gap on Rotor Vibration in a High Speed Centrifugal Compressor: A Numerical and Experimental Analysis (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Centrifugal compressors produce high pressure ratio and rotate at speeds. So, a tiny unbalance can produce severe vibration. In this paper, effects of impeller gap on rotor vibration in a high speed centrifugal compressor is investigated. For this purpose, a numerical and experimental analysis are carried out. The moving reference frame method in FLUENT software is used for modeling of geometri...

Centrifugal Compressors play an essential role in oil, gas and petrochemical industries. Their extensive usage is due to their smooth operation and high reliability compared to other other compressor types. One of the main characteristics of these turbomachines is their performance curve, which is an important criterion for selecting the appropriate compressor for a desired working condition. I...
متن کاملReview of Variable Geometry Techniques Applied to Enhance the Performance of Centrifugal Compressors
Most centrifugal compressors are required to operate over a broad range of flow rates and to provide a high pressure ratio with high efficiency. In order to meet these demands the application of variable geometry techniques is often considered and applied. The potential areas for the application of variable geometry procedures lie at inlet to and discharge from the impeller. This paper reviews ...
