Abstract

Aeroelasticity has always been a significant issue of compressors. Impeller-diffuser interaction (IDI) produces periodic aerodynamic excitation which forces the blades to vibrate in centrifugal compressors, and eventually causes the damage of blades. Therefore, it is of great importance to investigate the IDI in centrifugal compressors and the effects on the vibration of blades. In this paper, it is discussed in detail that the deflection angle of the airflow in diffuser affects the IDI of the centrifugal compressor and the vibration of blades. The results show that if deflection angle is positive, the interaction of the diffuser on impeller and the vibration of main blades are decreased. However, on condition that the deflection angle is excessive, the interaction of the diffuser on the flow field of impeller will be intensified, and the vibration of the main blades will be stronger. Therefore, it is necessary to reasonably control the range of the deflection angle so that centrifugal compressors are able to work in a safer environment.
