Ported shroud centrifugal compressor modification for reduced noise and improved efficiency
TS-063345 — An improvement to the design of ported shrouds for centrifugal compressor resulting in reduced noise and improved efficiency
Implementing a ported shroud casing treatment is often used to extend the operating range of a centrifugal compressor. A centrifugal compressor is used in an engine to increase the pressure of the air entering the engine. This allows the engine to burn more fuel and air, producing more power. Cent…
