Three dimensional turbulent flow in the scroll volute of centrifugal compressor has been numerically investigated in this paper by solving the Navier-Stokes equations and $\kappa-\varepsilon$ equation model. The computational grid for the flow field of the scroll volute has been constructed based on the multi-block grid concept, which is good to avoid the central grid singularity as well as to promote grid stretching toward the volute wall. Numerical result has been obtained for both the two- and three- dimensions. For the latter flow, result of the scroll volute flow is compared with that of the straight conical volute. This comparison has sorted out the characteristic features of the three-dimensional scroll-type volute flow of centrifugal compressor.

An aerodynamic design for centrifugal compressor which was applied to medium speed diesel engine has done. First of all, exact compressor specifications must be defined by accurate engine system matching. This matching program has been developed. Using the mean1ine prediction method, geometric design and performance curve for compressor was done and verified by comparing three dimensional viscous CFD results. The deviation at the design point was about 2.3%. Combustor has been designed and manufactured for the performance test of medium speed diesel engine turbocharger. Fuel nozzle of combustor was designed and performed by PIV and PDPA test equipment. Through these results, spray characteristics were studied and flow coefficient equation was deduced.

균열 현상은 모든 필터에서 발생하였다. 1997년 9월 원심 압축기 B에서 발생한 지나친 진동현상으로 여러 필터 중 한 필터가 부서져 임펠러 흡입부로 빨려 들어갔다. 1997년 10월 기동중에 선회실속 문제가 임펠러에서 발생하였고, 이 원인은 임펠러 eye가 부분적으로 막혔기 때문이었다. 압축기 입구와 출구의 전체 유량과 압력 상태는 정상이었기 때문에 어떠한 서지현상도 anti-surge 시스템에 의해서 감지되지 않았다. 고장상태를 진단함으로써 압축기의 재가동을 방지하여 필터들이 부서졌다는 것을 확인하게 되었다. 이번 기계 점검과정을 통하여 원격진단의 중요성을 확인하였으며, 이에 회사는 원격서비스(remote service) 계약을 체결하여 현재 원격 진단 서비스 점검이 계약 기간에 따라 정기적으로 이루어지고 있다. 이와 같이 기계에 대한 정기적인 점검을 실시하는 목적은 기계의 결함이나 고장문제를 조기에 발견함으로써 중대한 고장으로의 진행을 사전에 예방하거나 또는 최소화하는데 있다.

We design a four-stage propane-refrigerant centrifugal compressor for an LNG plant. Using a commercial code, we aerodynamically designed the compressor at each design point of the corresponding stages. We estimated the one-dimensional aerodynamic design output and the three-dimensional shape of the impeller flow passage via three-dimensional flow analysis. In particular, we discuss in detail the flow characteristics of the impeller and the vaneless diffuser passages of the fourth-stage compressor in terms of the velocity fields, the pressure, and the entropy distributions of the flow passages. We include the flow effects of the tip clearance flow, because at this stage the rotating speed and total inlet pressure are higher than those at the other compressor stages are. We carried out performance tests of the designed compressor stages using propane as a refrigerant in the LNG cycle. The practical evaluation could lead to design enhancements in the future.
