Custom CNC machining aluminum or stainless steel vane island diffuser wheel used for centrifugal compressor. The diffuser is a key point part as impeller,

In a centrifugal compressor, the primary function of the diffuser is to convert the kinetic energy of the gas into pressure energy, thereby increasing the output pressure of the compressor. Specifically, the diffuser serves the following purposes:

1. Slowing down the gas flow: After the gas passes through the centrifugal impeller, it gains high velocity (kinetic energy). The diffuser, with its gradually expanding passage, slows down the gas flow.
2. Converting kinetic energy into pressure energy: As the gas velocity decreases, according to Bernoulli’s principle, the kinetic energy is converted into pressure energy, thereby increasing the static pressure of the gas.
3. Stabilizing the gas flow: The diffuser helps convert the high-velocity rotating gas into a relatively stable flow, which is crucial for controlling subsequent flow or feeding into other stages of compression.
4. Improving compression efficiency: By reducing the loss of kinetic energy, the diffuser improves the overall efficiency of the centrifugal compressor. More efficient conversion of kinetic energy reduces power consumption while increasing the output pressure.
