Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A diffuser for a fluid compression device includes at least one vane mounted on a hub. The at least vane includes at least one opening (5) starting at a distance ranging between 10% and 60% of the axial length of the vane. The diffuser can be used in a fluid compression device also including a housing, at least one impeller within the housing, the impeller including at least one vane, the diffuser being arranged within the housing, upstream or downstream from said impeller.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A diffuser for a fluid compression device, comprising a hub and a plurality of vanes mounted on the hub, wherein each vane comprises a slot provided at an angle to a radial direction of the fluid compression device, wherein the slot has a rectangular, oblong, or parallelogram shape in a plane parallel to an axial direction of the fluid compression device, the slot starting at a distance ranging between 10% and 60% of an axial length of each vane, wherein the slot is provided over a total height of each vane from the hub to a radially outer edge of each vane, and wherein the slot is inclined toward downstream from the hub to the radially outer edge of each vane according to a direction of flow of fluid on the diffuser such that an opening of the slot onto the radially outer edge of the vane is arranged downstream from an end of the slot adjacent the hub. 2. The diffuser as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the slot has an axial length ranging between 10% and 40% of the axial length of each vane. 3. The diffuser as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each vane comprises a single slot. 4. The diffuser as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the slot starts at a distance ranging between 45% and 55% of the axial length of each vane. 5. A fluid compression device comprising a housing, at least one impeller within the housing, the at least one impeller comprising at least one vane, wherein the fluid compression device comprises at least one diffuser as claimed in claim 1 , the at least one diffuser being arranged within the housing, upstream or downstream from the at least one impeller.
