Abstract

Various centrifugal compressors are currently used extensively in industrial fields, where the design requirements are more complicated. This makes it more difficult to determine the optimal design point of a centrifugal compressor. Traditionally, the efficiency is an important factor for optimization. In this study, the weight of the compressor was also considered. The aim of this study was to present the design tendency considering the stage efficiency and weight. In addition, this study suggested possibility of a selection of compressor design objectives at an early design stage based on the optimization results. Only a vaneless diffuser was considered in this case. The Kriging method was used with sample points from 1D design program data. The optimal points were determined in a substitute design space.

여러 산업분야에서 다양한 원심압축기가 사용되고 있다. 따라서 사용자의 요구에 맞는 원심압축기의 설계가 복잡해졌고, 최적화된 설계점을 찾는 것은 더욱 어려워졌다. 전통적으로 효율은 최적화의 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 효율 외에도 압축기의 무게를 고려하여 설계하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 압축기의 효율과 무게를 고려할 때에 그 고려하는 가중치의 변화에 따라 설계의 경향성이 나타남을 확인하는 것에 있다. 또한, 이를 바탕으로 초기 설계 단계에서 객관적인 설계점을 선택할 수 있음을 보여주는데 있다. 본 연구에서는 베인이 없는 디퓨저를 한정하여 연구하였다. 최적화를 위해서 크리깅을 사용하였고, 1차원 설계 프로그램의 표본을 적절히 이용하였다. 설계공간을 적절히 가정하였고, 설계공간 내에서 최적설계점을 계산하였다.
