Bidirectional flow measurement based on the differential pressure method for surge analysis on a small centrifugal compressor
Werner, Moritz; Baar, Roland; Haluska, P.; Sandor, I.
To obtain a high temporal resolution of mass flow data, a flowmeter based on the differential pressure method has been developed. It is capable of detecting negative flow for investigations of dynamic effects in small centrifugal compressors used for turbocharging automotive internal combustion engines. Experiments were performed at a hot gas test bench focusing on the surge characteristics at different turbocharger speeds and the influence of volume modifications downstream of the compressor. Instantaneous operating points could be traced in the compressor map including the typical orbits at deep surge resulting from the cyclic character of the phenomenon.
