Centrifugal Compressor Design Criteria - A Comparison of Theory and Experiment

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA004011 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The objective of this program was to define the utility of the Detroit Diesel Allison Centrifugal Compressor Performance CCP analysis. This objective was accomplished by comparing the preexisting analysis of the performance of a new high-pressure-ratio centrifugal compressor RC-2 with the test data obtained in the course of this program. After the first or baseline compressor tests, the test results were analyzed on the basis of the CCP program, and initial compressor modifications were recommended and carried out. An additional modification was also completed. Prior to each test of the modified compressor, an estimate of the units performance was obtained by using the CCP program, and the test results were subsequently compared with this estimate.
