The Impact of Bleeding on Compressor Stator Corner Separation

Bleed air from the high pressure compressor has taken up 3–5% in the air system. However, there are not many studies on the compressor performance after bleeding. By analyzing a low-speed single-stage compressor and a transonic single-stage compressor, this paper presents several plans with different bleeding rates on the casing near stator corner, in order to study the influence of bleeding rates on the compressor stator corner separation. The results showed that for the stators of subsonic compressor with large flow separation in the corner, there is an optimum value in the stator casing bleed air amount. The flow field is better at resisting the radial flow caused by bleed air in the transonic compressor stator. The more the bleeding rates of the stator, the more the compressor efficiency improves.
