Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of design of working components of centrifugal rotating machinery, and in particular to a universal design method for centrifugal compressor model stages suitable for different flow coefficients. Background Art

[0002] Centrifugal compressors are widely used in high-energy-consuming industries such as thermal power, steel, non-metallic mineral products, oil refining and coking, chemicals, non-ferrous metals, etc., and are important equipment in high-energy-consuming industries. As the working component of the centrifugal compressor, the design level of the centrifugal impeller directly affects the performance of the compressor unit. From the existing public data, as the compression ratio of the compressor increases, the efficiency and operating range of the compressor generally show a downward trend, but under a certain pressure ratio, due to different design methods, the performance of the designed compressor will also vary greatly. Therefore, building a reliable design method is of great significance to the design of high-performance compressors. At present, researchers generally take the minimum relative Mach number of the impeller inlet tip as one of the design principles. The compressor designed in accordance with the above principles is more compact in structure, but it also greatly reduces the selection range of the relative airflow angle of the impeller inlet tip. In the case of no pre-swirling air intake at the inlet, when the relative airflow angle of the impeller inlet tip is less than 55°, the corresponding Mach number of the impeller inlet tip has no practical significance. This makes the above method no longer applicable when faced with a selection range less than 55°. Secondly, among the design methods of centrifugal impellers, the whole stage matching problem is less considered. One situation is that when considering the whole stage structural size, the radial height of the diffuser must be limited. At this time, it is hoped that the outlet airflow angle of the rotor component is larger, thereby reducing the diffuser height. However, if the whole stage performance is considered, it is hoped that the outlet airflow angle of the rotor component is smaller, so that when matching the return flow component, the installation angle of the guide vane in the return flow device will not be too large, causing the airflow to separate and causing the whole stage performance to decrease. Therefore, the impeller design has a greater impact on the whole stage matching. Summary of the invention
