ABSTRACT:
A diffuser for use with a centrifugal compressor utilizes a symmetric arrangement of vanes which direct the gas flow along a plurality of passageways that are substantially tangential to the outer periphery of the impeller. Each vane making up the array is pivotally mounted near its opposite ends. Controls are provided so that rotation of the vane assembly about the innermost set of pivot points will vary the cross-sectional area of the ducts formed between adjacent vane members. This allows efficiency of the diffuser-compressor combination to be maximized for a multiplicity of speed and load conditions.
