Multi-Objective Optimization and Performance Analysis of Centrifugal Compressor Impeller Based on the Immune Algorithm
In order to further explore the optimal design of high-performance centrifugal compressor
taking the impeller of a centrifugal refrigeration compressor with air bearing as the research object
combined with the multilayer BP neural network
a multi-objective impeller optimization strategy based on the nondominated neighbor immune algorithm is developed. Firstly
the hidden layer structure of the neural network is optimized using the immune algorithm
aiming to improve the nonlinear approximation ability of the neural network as a surrogate model. Secondly
the immune algorithm is applied to optimize the performance of impeller under all operating conditions with the polytropic efficiency of near surge point
design point and near choke point as the optimization target. The aerodynamic performance and internal flow characteristics of the impeller before and after the optimization are compared and analyzed through numerical simulation. The simulation results show that after the optimization based on the immune algorithm
the polytropic efficiency of the impeller increases by 1.8%
1.9% and 4% at the near surge point
design point and near choke point
respectively
indicating that the stable operating range of impeller is widened. The flow field analysis shows that the loads distributed from LE to TE of the main blade and the splitter blade at 90% span increase obviously after the optimization
which reflects improved work capacity of the impeller. The shock loss decreases because of the reduced inclination angle of the splitter blade. The mixing phenomenon between the leakage flow and main flow in the passage is obviously weakened
and the flow field is more uniform
which verifies the effectiveness of the proposed multi-objective optimization strategy.
