Abstract

Abstract In an attempt to reduce engine frontal area, while maintaining a high single stage pressure ratio, mixed flow compressor stages are frequently used in micro gas turbine (MGT) engines. The expansion of the choke margin of such a mixed flow compressor is presented. The use of a crossover diffuser configuration in a mixed flow compressor stage has displayed superior performance results compared to legacy diffuser configurations, especially when geometric restrictions are enforced. A disadvantage of a crossover diffuser configuration is that it typically displays an inferior operating range compared to legacy diffuser configurations. In an attempt to expand the choke margin of a MGT mixed flow compressor, the use of tandem and splitter vane crossover diffuser configurations was evaluated. It was found that a low solidity first vane row configuration provided a 3% increase in choke margin. A splitter vane crossover diffuser configuration provided a 5.9% increase in choke margin. A tandem vaned diffuser with a reduced first row vane number provided a 7.8% increase in choke margin.

微型燃气涡轮发动机混流压气机级节流裕度的扩大

摘要为了在保持高单级压力比的同时减少发动机的前部面积，混流式压缩机级经常用于微型燃气轮机（MGT）发动机。介绍了这种混流式压缩机节流裕度的扩展。与传统扩散器配置相比，在混流压缩机级中使用交叉扩散器配置显示出优越的性能结果，尤其是在实施几何限制时。交叉扩散器配置的缺点是，与传统扩散器配置相比，它通常显示较差的工作范围。为了扩大MGT混流式压缩机的阻风门裕度，对串联和分流叶片交叉扩压器配置的使用进行了评估。研究发现，低固体度的第一排叶片结构使节流裕度增加了3%。分流叶片交叉扩压器配置使节流裕度增加了5.9%。具有减少的第一排叶片数量的串联叶片扩散器提供了7.8%的节流裕度增加。
