Tip sealing method for compressors

摘要

A recirculation passageway 52 for a turbine engine 10 provides stall protection in a booster 40 by directing high pressure airflow from a flow path 50 of the booster 40 and into the passageway 52. The high pressure airflow loses energy and decreases in pressure while traveling through the passageway 52 until re-entry into the booster 40 flow path 50. The airflow recirculates in the passageway 52 until the airflow may be steadily discharged through a high pressure compressor.
