This study presents an aerodynamic design and an experimental performance test of a turbo air compressor consisted of mixed-flow impeller and curved diffuser for the PEM fuel cell vehicle application. Many studies compare the efficiency, cost or noise level of high-pressure and low-pressure operation of PEM fuel cell systems. Pressure ratio 2.2:1 is considered as design target The goal of compressor design is to enlarge the flow margin of compressor from surge to choke mass flow rate to cover the operational envelope of FCV. Large-scale rig test is performed to evaluate the compressor performance and to compare the effects of compressor exit pipe volume to stall or surge characteristics. The results show that the mixed-flow compressor designed has large flow margin, and the flow margin of compressor configuration with small exit volume is larger than that with large exit volume.

A high-efficiency turbo steam compressor has been successfully developed for the MVR desalination system, first one in Korea. The state-of-the-art design methods using real gas properties were applied to get all the aerodynamic design results. Bull and pinion gear trains, tilting-pad bearings and investment cast impellers were developed also to be integrated into the integral gear-driven turbo steam compressor. System tests show highly efficient performance.

터보 압축기는 구조적으로 임펠러를 고속회전 시켜야 한다. 범용전동기에 높은 기어비를 가진 기어박스를 이용하여 구현하였는데, 이는 관성 모멘트, 마찰손 및 압축기의 크기를 증가시켰다. 최근에 터보 압축기의 연구는 초고속 동기전동기를 장착하여 기어박스를 제거하여 크기와 마찰손을 최소화하는 방향으로 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 150마력 70,000rpm 직접 구동방식의 터보 압축기를 개발하기 위하여 초고속 동기전동기용 인버터제어기, 공압제어기 및 MMI 기능을 통합한 단일 DSP에 근거한 통합제어기를 구현하였다. 이는 하드웨어적인 부분만 아니라 소프트웨어적인 측면에서도 통합 작업이 필요하였다. 이러한 소프트웨어 및 하드웨어 통합을 통하여 하드웨어적으로는 제어 시스템을 간략화 되었으며, 소프트웨어적으로는 동일한 개발환경에서 각 종 제어기가 구현되고 통합되었다. 이를 개발 및 제작하여 150마력70,000rpm 직접 구동방식의 터보 압축기에 적응하였다

Bearing design of turbo type geared centrifugal air compressor for low vibration level has been studied. The Transfer Matrix Method was used in this paper to analyze the air-compressor consisting of impellers, multi-stage geared rotors, and oil-film hearings. We have to consider this air-compressor as multi-geared rotating system, because characteristics of rotor-bearing system are different from conventional characteristics of non-rotating system. From the view point of Rotordynamics, the stiffness and damping coefficient of oil-film bearing in case of compressor system are more sensitive than other design parameters such as shaft length, shaft diameter and the weight of impellers, etc. Therefore, the stiffness and damping coefficients on each bearing were considered as design parameters. As the result of this study, turbo type air compressor with low vibration level can be achieved.

Oil-free turbo-compressor supported by compliant foil bearings which remove oil-contamination by elimination of the conventional ball bearing and oil lubrication systems is presented. Turbo-compressor makes two individual air compression with two impellers at operating speed, 39,000rpm. In this study, the rotordynamic effects caused by aerodynamic instability were investigated with variable mass flow rate. Correlation between frequencies of pressure fluctuation in two diffusers and those of excitation forces on rotor were clearly developed in aerodynamic unsteady region. Thus, these results show that it is beneficial to design high speed rotating turbomachinery considering coupling effect between aerodynamic instability and rotordynamic force.

A dynamic model of turbo compressor having helical gear pairs is developed. The model accounts for the shaft and bearing flexibilities, gyroscopic effects and the force couplings among the transverse, torsion. and axial motions due to gearings. For the mode analysis of turbo compressor, a transfer matrix method is used. The excitation sources caused by the mass unbalances of the rotors and misalignment of the shafts, the transmitted errors of the gearings. and the vane passing frequencies of the Impeller are studied qualitatively. By introducing the perturbation method, the generated forcing frequencies are defined and devided into three groups. With the field data, two critical speeds are analytically found and the corresponding modal characteristics are examined.

The effects of various vaned diffuser configurations, such as throat area ratios and rectangular and conical cross-section shapes. to the performance of a small-size turbo-compressor are studied. Numerical analyses were carried out for the region of diffuser and casing only. The pressure recovery coefficient was calculated to estimate the performance of the diffuser, and then compared with the measured data. Results show that the shapes and the throat area ratios of the diffuser strongly influence on the performance of a turbo-compressor.
