Performance Analysis of Centrifugal Compressor under Different Operation Conditions

Article Preview

Abstract:

Centrifugal compressor in bootstrap turbine cooler was studied to build computational model of flow domain for compressor component. The relationship between pressure ratio πc , efficiency ηc , flow rate G and rotational speed N was calculated by 3D numerical method. Experimental data were compared with the calculated results and good agreement was achieved. It indicated that performance characteristics of centrifugal compressor under off-Design condition could be predicted by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technology. Furthermore, internal flow characteristics and load distribution could be visualized directly by CFD post processing graph.
