  • Publication number: 20180066674
    Abstract: A centrifugal compressor is able to cause air to efficiently flow to an impeller thereof, and enables improvement of operating efficiency. The centrifugal compressor has: a casing having an inlet flow channel and a connection flow channel formed therein, the inlet flow channel having a suction port provided at one place thereof, the connection flow channel being connected to the inlet flow channel; a main shaft inserted in the casing; an impeller fixed to the main shaft and arranged in the inlet flow channel; and an inlet guide vane unit having a plurality of inlet guide vanes arranged upstream of the impeller of the inlet flow channel. In the inlet guide vane unit, an arrangement interval between inlet guide vanes at a suction port side is narrower than an arrangement interval of inlet guide vanes at a side opposite to the suction port side.

  • Patent number: 8581136
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an impeller of a centrifugal rotating machine that is approximately disk-shaped and in which flow passages are formed between a plurality of blades and disposed in a radial manner from the inner circumferential side to the outer circumferential side, provided with a first flow passage formation step that forms a first region on the outer circumferential side within the flow passage by inserting an electrode of a shape fitting to the flow passage with the electric discharge machining method from the outer circumferential side of the disk-shaped body having an outer shape of an impeller, and a second flow passage formation step that forms a second region on the inner circumferential side within the flow passage from the inner circumferential side of the disk-shaped body.

  • Publication number: 20100316502
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an impeller of a centrifugal rotary machine, the impeller being formed in a substantially disk shape and including a passageway curved to follow the axial direction in an inner peripheral side of the impeller and to follow the radial direction as it goes to an outer peripheral side thereof, the method includes: a first passageway forming step of setting a rotation center at a position on one side of the axial direction where a curvature center of the passageway is located relative to a disk forming an external shape of the impeller, and rotating a processing tool about the rotation center relative to the disk so as to form at least a part of the passageway from a position which is an inner peripheral end of the passageway of the disk toward the outer peripheral side.

  • Publication number: 20090304519
    Abstract: An object is to provide a gas-compressor impeller which has excellent durability even when gas containing solid particles is compressed and which does not increase the cost. A gas-compressor impeller installed in a gas compressor that compresses gas containing solid particles has a hub portion and a plurality of blades extending substantially radially from the outer circumferential surface of the hub portion. The hub portion and the blades are rotated about the central axial line to compress gas. The blades have abrasion-resistant films only at gas inlet portions.
