Performance Analysis and Multi-Parameter Optimization of Centrifugal Impeller Configuration for the Centrifugal Compressor Used in Fuel Cells
In order to improve the aerodynamic performance of the centrifugal compressor to meet the demand of the fuel cell system
this paper takes a fuel cell centrifugal compressor impeller as the study object
selects the key configuration parameters such as the impeller inlet inclination angle
number of blades
radial flow path and other profile control points and blade mounting angle distribution control points as optimization variables
then uses the numerical calculation method to simulate and optimize the aerodynamic performance of the centrifugal impeller. Based on the Latin hypercube sampling and the BP neural network
this paper mapped the relationship between the impeller configuration parameters and the aerodynamic performance
then uses the maximum isentropic efficiency of the impeller as the optimization target
and takes the total pressure ratio and power as constraints. The genetic algorithm was used to optimize the key configuration parameters of the impeller
and the aerodynamic performance and internal flow characteristics of the impeller before and after optimization were compared and analyzed. The results show that the isentropic efficiency of the optimized impeller increases by 3.90%
its total pressure ratio is 1.742
and its power is 8.53 kW under the design conditions
which satisfies the design requirements. At the same time
the range of stable operating conditions of the impeller becomes wider
and the isentropic efficiency of the impeller is also improved in the whole range of operating conditions. The flow field analysis shows that the high entropy area on the cover side of the impeller is reduced after optimization
the velocity distribution in the pressure surface and outlet section of the blade is more uniform
the area of the low-speed gas mass is reduced in multiple directions
and the flow separation in the impeller channel is suppressed. The above verifies the effectiveness of the multi-parameter optimization design method of the centrifugal impeller in this paper.
