FULL-SCALE AERODYNAMIC AND ROTORDYNAMIC TESTING FOR LARGE CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSORS

摘要

This paper describes a full-scale, flexible test vehicle designed and built by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to validate the aerodynamic and mechanical performance of large compressors for a variety of applications. This paper provides a description of the test vehicle as well as mechanical and aerodynamic performance data gathered during testing of the vehicle.
