Abstract (en)

[origin: JPH0242199A] PURPOSE: To stabilize impeller flow in the inlet region by forming an annular notch on a circumferential wall of an inlet duct in front of an impeller of a radial compressor, and arranging a plurality of blades in the notch via a stabilization ring. CONSTITUTION: In a radial compressor comprising a casing 1 and an impeller 2, a device for extending the operational performances of the compressor is arranged in front of the impeller 2. The device comprises a stabilizer opening 5, a stabilization ring 3 and a plurality of stabilizer blades 4. The stabilizer opening 5 extends in the radial direction with a given depth from the surface of an inlet duct 6 into the casing 1, and is formed in the axial direction in the form of an internal groove extending with a given length. The stabilization ring 3 is integrated into the stabilizer opening 5 so that the inner circumferential surface thereof is identical with the surface of the inlet duct 6. The blades 4 are placed on the outer circumference of the ring.
