Multi-point Optimisation of an Industrial Centrifugal Compressor with Return Channel by 3D Inverse Design

This paper presents a complete multi-point optimisation methodology about the meridional geometry and the blade loading (blade shapes) of all centrifugal compressor components.

A Multi-Point Optimization Strategy

A multipoint optimisation methodology for the industrial compressor with channel is presented in this paper using 3D inverse design, DOE, Kriging RSM and MOGA. Both meridional and blade loading parameters of the impeller, the diffuser and the return channel are investigated.

In this paper a complete multi-point optimisation methodology about the meridional geometry and the blade loading (blade shapes) of the impeller, the vaned diffuser, crossover bend and the vaned return channel using 3D Inverse Design method, DOE (Design of Experiments), Kriging RSM (Response Surface Model) and MOGA is presented. The objective of the optimisation is to maximise the efficiency at two operating points.

In this paper you will:

 
  • Setup multi-blade row automatic optimization with 3D Inverse Design
  •  
  • Parameterize a full stage meridional path
  •  
  • Select and narrow down the most important design parameters for optimization
