Abstract: A Centrifugal compressor impeller including a plurality of blades extending from a hub, each blade having a first wall defining a pressure side of the blade, and a second wall defining a suction side of the blade, and a free end defining a tip of the blade, the tip presenting a raised rim aligned to the first wall, the second wall of the blade being at least partially aligned with a surface of the tip free from the raised rim.

Abstract: A centrifugal compressor impeller comprises a gas inlet, a gas outlet, and a disc having a plurality of blades extending therefrom. Each blade has a leading edge at the impeller inlet and a trailing edge at the impeller outlet, a blade base extending along the disc between the leading edge and the trailing edge, a blade tip extending between the leading edge and the trailing edge opposite the disc, a pressure side and a suction side. Each blade has a three-dimensional curvature in at least a portion of the surface, adjacent the leading edge. The leading edge has a curved, non-linear profile in a meridian plane. The blade portion has a double-curvature. Each blade has a first metal angle distribution at the blade base, a second metal angle distribution at the blade tip and at least a third metal angle distribution between the blade base and the blade tip.

Abstract: The centrifugal compressor impeller comprises an inlet, an outlet and a disk extending from the inlet to the outlet. A plurality of blades extend from the disk, each blade having a leading edge at the inlet, a trailing edge at the outlet, a blade base extending along the disk between the leading edge and the trailing edge, and a blade tip extending between the leading edge and the trailing edge opposite the disk. The trailing edge is S-shaped with an intermediate inflection.
