离心压缩机动静干涉信号特征识别方法

离心式压缩机由于内部静、动叶片排的相对运动,气流在压缩机内部流动时会产生动静干涉,从而会产生不定常气流激振力和高振幅压力脉动。这种非定常动静干涉对压缩机的稳定正常运行和实际工作效率有着重要的影响。为了有效研究动静干涉的信号特征,首先,对某模型级压缩机试验台离心叶轮进行运行模态仿真计算从而得到叶轮干涉图;其次,确定进口导叶(inlet guide vanes,简称IGV)和出口扩压器(outlet guide vanes,简称OGV)对叶轮存在干涉的转速;最后,在确定的试验转速工况下进行应变测试和压力脉动测试。通过分析对比,验证了仿真转速工况下干涉特征频率的存在,也证实了应变信号更适用于识别干涉信号特征。通过总结干涉较严重的转速工况干涉特征频率与叶轮固有频率的关系,为离心压缩机进一步改进设计奠定了基础。

Influence of volute distortion on the performance of turbocharger centrifugal compressor with vane diffuser

As the geometry of the volute of turbocharger compressor is non-axisymmetric,it causes a distortion at the outlet of the diffuser and influences the upstream components.A distortion model in which a pressure distortion was applied as outlet boundary condition was established to simulate the distortion induced by the volute.It turned out to be sufficient to impose a circumferentially asymmetric pressure distribution at the outlet of the diffuser to replace the volute.Based on the distortion model which was verified,the influence of the amplitude of the distortion on the performance of centrifugal compressor was studied in detail.The results show that the distortion severely harms aerodynamic stability of the investigated compressor.The larger the amplitude of the distortion,the worse the performance of the compressor.The distortion induced by asymmetric volute propagates to upstream components and causes local flow separation at part of diffuser and impeller,and then causes the compressor surge.When the amplitude of the volute distortion is 10%,the stable flow range of the centrifugal compressor decreases to near zero.To authors’knowledge,the relationship between the compressor performance and distortion amplitude is first obtained quantitatively,which provides evidence to improve the performance of turbocharger compressor by decreasing the distortion induced by asymmetric volute.
