A STUDY ON IMPROVED DESIGN OF SMALL SIZE TURBO-COMPRESSOR USING COMPUTATIONAL FLUID ANALYSIS

유동해석을 통한 소형 터보압축기 성능 개선 설계에 관한 연구

This study presents the design of small size turbo-compressor to increase the performance using computational fluid analysis. A three dimensional computation was conducted changing the main parameters of impeller blade and diffuser shape, respectively, and the design was performed on a basis analysis of result of that. As a result, the Improved shapes show the increase of efficiency in comparison with the existing shape. This study will be used as useful reference data to establish the design concept of the small size turbo-compressor and to improve its performance.
