<p>A flow stabiliser equalises the flow of fluid through the passageways of the channel diffuser used with a centrifugal type rotary compressor. Slots are formed in the sidewalls of the flow separating vanes in the diffuser. The slots open into cavities within the vanes. The cavities communicate by openings thrugh the diffuser wall into a common closed manifold. The fluid interconnection between the passageways in the diffuser and the encircling common manifold increases the operating range of the compressor since pressure surges in one or more passageways are quickly equalised.</p> |
