Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The invention relates to a housing ( 1 ) of a radial flow compressor, comprising an intake pipe ( 4 ), a compressor duct ( 7 ) and an outlet pipe ( 5 ), wherein the housing comprises a housing body (basic construction) comprising at least an upper housing member ( 3 ) and a lower housing member ( 2 ) made of a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic polymer composition, and wherein the members ( 2, 3 ) are made, assembled together and fixed to each other in an integrated 2-step injection molding process. The invention also relates to a process for producing a housing for a radial flow compressor, comprising an intake pipe, a compressor duct and an outlet pipe, comprising steps of a) melt processing of a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic polymer composition thereby forming a polymer melt, b) injection molding the polymer melt into a molding die comprising at least two cavities, thereby forming at least two members comprising at least an upper housing member and a lower housing member, c) assembling the at least two members together, thereby forming a housing body defining the intake pipe, the compressor duct and the outlet pipe, and d) fixing the assembled at least two members to each other.
First claim
