Abstract
The advances in the primary design method of centrifugal compressors of the Universal Modeling Method have led to the need to analyze and revise the recommendations for the optimal size and configuration selection of vaneless diffusers of centrifugal compressor stages. The results of CFD calculations of a family of vaneless diffusers with different relative width, radial length, velocity coefficients and flow angles at the inlet are used to develop new recommendations. The choice of the optimal width of the vaneless diffuser is based on ensuring a non-separable flow in it at the boundary of the surge. The optimal value of the relative radial length of the diffuser is in the range of 1.65–2.0. Considering the above, a formula for selecting the vaneless diffuser outer diameter is proposed depending on the design flow rate coefficient. The developed primary design method of vaneless diffusers is included in the software programs of the Universal Modeling Method and is used in design and research practice.
