Abstract:

In view of demand of the high-pressure ratio and large flow air of centrifugal air compressor for domestic fuel cell vehicle, a rotor-bearing system model with compound cross-section is established to study the resonance instability problem of the rotor stability design for ultra-high-speed air compressor with rated speed of 100 000 r/min. The paper analyzes the critical speed increase by increasing the bearing stiffness and reducing the bearing span, and the decrease of critical speed by the rotor hollow structure and the temperature rise, and proposes different shock absorption measures for rigid and flexible rotors. In addition, the impeller with large moment of inertia significantly improving the high-order critical speed due to the influence of the rotary effect is discussed. The conclusions can provide theoretical guidance and design reference for the rotor and bearing design of ultra-high speed centrifugal air compressor of fuel cell vehicle.
