A noise reduction structure of a supercharger, comprising: a relief channel of the supercharger having a high pressure pipeline and a low pressure pipeline; a silencing assembly which is arranged at a gas communication position between the high pressure pipeline and the low pressure pipeline. The silencing assembly has a plurality of vent holes with a hole diameter smaller than 20 mm, and the silencing assembly is configured in such a way that the high pressure gas only enters the low pressure pipeline after passing through the vent holes when the high pressure pipeline is in communication with the low pressure pipeline. The noise reduction structure of the supercharger mentioned above has good effect of noise elimination during gas release and low costs.

A centrifugal compressor for a chiller system includes a casing, an inlet guide vane, an impeller disposed downstream of the inlet guide vane, a motor and a diffuser. The casing has inlet and outlet portions with the inlet guide vane disposed in the inlet portion. The impeller is attached to a shaft rotatable about a rotation axis, and the motor rotates the shaft in order to rotate the impeller. The centrifugal compressor further includes a casing treatment bypass having an entrance port and an exit port. The casing treatment bypass injects refrigerant from a gap between the impeller and the inlet portion of the casing toward an area between the impeller and the inlet guide vane. The exit port of the casing treatment bypass is positioned upstream in a direction of a refrigerant flow with respect to the entrance port of the casing treatment bypass.

A compressor control system includes a compressor compressing a fluid, an anti-surge valve preventing backflow in the compressor, the anti-surge valve being arranged on a line connecting an inlet and an outlet of the compressor and operated by a first signal, an inlet guide vane controlling an opening area of the inlet, the inlet guide vane being arranged at the inlet and operated by a second signal, and a controller connected to the anti-surge valve and the inlet guide vane and generating the first signal to control the anti-surge valve, a vane control signal to control the inlet guide vane, a pressure compensation signal to control the inlet guide vane to compensate for a change in pressure at the outlet of the compressor according to the first signal, and the second signal by combining the pressure compensation signal with the vane control signal.

Gas turbine engine compressor bleed assembly includes annular bleed plenum between annular outer and inner casings circumscribing compressor flowpath of compressor, upstream and downstream bleed ports disposed through inner casing and between compressor flowpath and plenum at upstream and downstream stages. Bleed path extends from downstream bleed port through bleed plenum and out bleed outlet disposed through outer casing. Autonomously actuated valve such as poppet valve disposed in bleed path or downstream bleed port. Autonomously actuated or poppet valve may be set to open at take-off and/or climb. Bleed outlet may be customer and domestic or engine bleed outlet disposed through outer casing and in fluid bleed air communication with bleed plenum. Another assembly may include annular forward and aft bleed outlets connected to plenums. Bleed path extends from downstream bleed port through plenums and out forward bleed outlet.

An air bleed device for an aircraft engine, including a frame and a flap able to rotate about an axis in relation to the frame, the device further including a return system configured to bias the flap in a determined position about the axis and including a torsion spring, a first end of which is connected to the flap and a second end of which is connected to the frame. The second end is connected to the frame by adjusting the preload of the spring by screwing when the flap is in the determined position.

A shroud configured to be disposed around an impeller of a centrifugal compressor, the shroud has a wall extending around a central axis of the centrifugal compressor, the wall having an inner face oriented toward a gaspath and an outer face oriented away from the gaspath, a slot extending all around the central axis and from the inner face to the outer face of the wall, bridges secured to the wall, the bridges circumferentially distributed around the central axis and spanning across the slot, the bridges extending from roots to tips, the tips of the bridges circumferentially offset from the roots relative to the central axis.

A bleed valve for an air plenum includes a valve body having a poppet seat, a poppet supported by the valve body and movable relative to the poppet seat, and piston slideable relative to the poppet and movable relative to the poppet between an extended position and a retracted position. Gas turbine engines and methods of bleeding fluid from gas turbine engines are also described.

Provided is a compressor including: a compressor body that has a motor and compresses air; an aftercooler for cooling the compressed air supplied from the compressor body; a dryer for dehumidifying the compressed air flowing out from the aftercooler; a drain discharge valve for discharging a drain from the dryer; a first pressure sensor for measuring air pressure downstream of the aftercooler; and a control device having a rotation-speed adjusting unit that drives the motor at second acceleration smaller than first acceleration, the first acceleration being rated acceleration of the motor, when a pressure value measured by the first pressure sensor is less than a first threshold value predetermined at startup of the motor.

A diffuser for a compressor of a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The diffuser has a plurality of diffuser pipes circumferentially distributed about an axis of the compressor, each of the plurality of diffuser pipes extending from an inlet to an outlet and having a bend section between the inlet and the outlet, a low pressure side and an opposite high pressure side. A recirculation conduit defines a recirculation path from a first flow region to a second flow region in one or more of the plurality of the diffuser pipes, the first flow region having a greater static pressure than that of the second region, the recirculation conduit having a conduit inlet and a conduit outlet, at least the conduit outlet located within the low pressure side of one of the plurality of the diffuser pipes.

A system includes a dynamic compressor and a controller. The dynamic compressor includes a motor having a driveshaft rotatably supported within the dynamic compressor and a compression mechanism connected to the driveshaft and operable to compress a working fluid upon rotation of the driveshaft. The controller is connected to the motor and includes a processor and a memory. The memory stores instructions that program the processor to operate the motor to compress the working fluid at a motor speed greater than a predicted minimum surge speed plus a control margin, determine when surge events have occurred, store, in the memory, an indication of each surge event that the processor determined to have occurred, and determine whether or not to take a protective action when the processor determines that a surge event has occurred.
