Compressor Design Aspects

Multiple Rotors
Source [1]
Abbreviations:
• L.P. low pressure • H.P. high pressure
Advantages
• Single spool simple and robust construction • Twin spool optimum speed for LP and HP compressor; LP usually rotates slower
than HP

Advantages of triple-spool engine:
• Optimum fan speed; fan speed is lower than LP and HO compressor (large diameter gives high blade tip speeds supersonic due to low speed of sound)
• Avoid having a geared fan (a gear box for these power ratings is heavy)

Different problem for power generation turbine:
• Power shaft must rotate at constant speed. At part load behavior the compressor would however work in a better operating point at part speed.
• Solution: free power turbine

Rotor Blade Mount

Comparison of compressor and turbine blade fixations:
• Turbine: fir tree • Compressor: dove tail
Reason: higher load at higher temperatures for turbines, fir tree distributes loads more efficiently but is more costly

Variable Stage Geometry Variable guide vanes: control of stager angle of all blades in a blade row

Purpose:
• Minimize incidence at off-design operation • Pre-swirl for load regulation

Surge Control (Bleed Valves)
Source [1]
Bleed valves are used to avoid compressor surge during fast acceleration. Their use during steady operation however would be very wasteful and is therefore not taken into consideration.
