  • Publication number: 20170350410
    Abstract: Provided is a centrifugal compressor impeller capable of improving machine operation efficiency, by making the total pressure distribution of a fluid that flowed into a vaneless diffuser constant. To this end, the provided centrifugal compressor impeller has a plurality of vanes radially provided around a rotating shaft, uses centrifugal force produced by rotating along with the rotating shaft, pumps a fluid (G) taken in from the leading edge side of the vanes to the outside in the radial direction of the rotating shaft from the trailing edge side of the vanes, and thereafter, discharges the fluid (G) into a vaneless diffuser. Furthermore, the edge front end and the edge rear end of the trailing edge are positioned to the outside in the radial direction of the rotating shaft relative to the edge center section of the trailing edge.
