METHOD FOR ADAPTING THE AIR FLOW OF A TURBINE ENGINE HAVING A CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSOR AND DIFFUSER FOR IMPLEMENTING SAME

摘要

A method for maintaining efficiency and duty of a turbine engine compressor to reduce specific consumption, while guaranteeing a high enough pumping margin with partial load. The method adapts airflow to a variable demand for flow or mechanical or electric power in a centrifugal compressor of a turbine engine. The method includes diffusing the airflow through a first annular blade ring having variable pitch blades, radially bordered by a second annular blade ring having a same number of fixed pitch blades with an equivalent extension, guiding the radial extension diffusion by coupling the blades of the two blade rings. According to the method, each blade of the first blade ring is spun off-axis.
