  • AIRFOIL FOR INLET GUIDE VANE (IGV) OF MULTISTAGE COMPRESSOR
    Publication number: 20160160874
    Abstract: A vane for an Inlet Guide Vane (IGV) of a multistage compressor includes a root portion, a tip portion, and an airfoil extending therebetween. The vane is configured such that a ratio of the maximum thickness of the airfoil to a chord length (Tmax/C) at 50% of the span height (H) taken from the tip portion of the vane is configured to lie in the range of 0.11 to 0.12. In addition to the ratio (Tmax/C) at 50% of the span height (H) being in range of 0.11 to 0.12, a ratio of the maximum thickness to the chord length (Tmax/C) at various points along the airfoil varies with span height (H) of the vane i.e., distance taken from the tip portion of the vane and the local chord length C present at that span height H of the vane taken from the tip portion.
