TURBOMACHINERY VANE ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM

摘要

A radial flow compressor is shown with unique adjusting means for the diffuser vanes. The leading end portion of each blade is pivoted on the casing. Pintles project from the blades into eccentrics which are journaled in shafts mounted on the casing. The shafts are rotated, to get a highly accurate angular position of the vanes through the offset relation of the axes of the shafts, the eccentrics and the pintles.
