centrifugal compressor, modernization, shape of the inletAbstract
The paper is devoted to an effect the shape of the inlet in the centrifugal compressor under modernization exerts on its performance parameters and an evaluation of the related risk. The state art knowledge experience of the authors concerning centrifugal compressor inlets, and results of the analysis of flow fields upstream of the first stage of the compressor under modernization are presented.
