Title:
プレナム入口における渦流生成装置
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2004524474
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A swirl generator for creating bulk swirl in a compressor plenum in the opposite direction to the direction of rotation of the compressor rotor. The generator includes a continuous flow passageway formed by an inlet duct and a compressor forming an angle in the range of about 0°-180° to one another. A non-uniform velocity gradient is created by forming an area of non-uniform cross-sectional area within the flow passageway. The non-uniform area may comprise a ramp with a tapered end line, a rounded line of intersection, a fillet or by lengthening one side wall of the inlet duct relative to the opposite side wall. Preferably, the non-uniform cross sectional area uniformly tapers from ones sidewall of the flow passageway to the opposite sidewall.
