Abstract

A compressor assembly has a fluid inlet positioned to facilitate the passage of a fluid. The compressor assembly includes a compressor housing defining a compressor inlet and an impeller rotatably supported at least partially within the compressor housing. The impeller includes an inducer portion. A fluid treatment member is disposed adjacent the compressor housing and between the compressor inlet and the inducer portion and an inlet vane assembly I disposed adjacent the compressor inlet and includes a plurality of vanes. Each of the vanes is movable between a first position and a second position to control the quantity of fluid that passes to the impeller.

Description

[0001] relevant application data [0001] This application claims the benefit of co-pending U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 755,252, filed December 30, 2005, under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e), the contents of which are hereby incorporated herein in their entirety Reference. technical field [0002] This invention relates to inlet guide vane arrangements for controlling the flow and pressure ratio of centrifugal compressors or stages of centrifugal compressors. More specifically, the present invention relates to adjustable inlet guide vanes for varying flow through a compressor or compressor stage. Background technique [0003] Compressors, and more specifically centrifugal compressors, can operate over a wide range of operating parameters. Variations in some of these parameters may produce undesired changes in efficiency and capacity. Additionally, multi-stage compressors may operate in circumstances where one or more of the compressor stages is operating at an undesirable pre...
