Three 140mm tip diameter centrifugal compressors were designed and tested to determine the one exhibiting the best performance most suitable for eventual application to a small 60KW radial flow type gas turbine. The design features, and stage test results of these three moderately high pressure ratio impellers are presented, together with a comparison of their respective test and CFD computed performance maps.
