Rolls Royce Goblin II numbered cutaway; the impeller of the centrifugal compressor is number 12. The very first jet engines used centrifugal compressors and they are still used on small turbojets and turbo shaft engines. The key component that makes a compressor centrifugal is the centrifugal impeller which contains a rotating set of blades.
Rolls-Royce based the 10-stage HP compressor on an 8-stage run in the RB401 in the mid 1970's followed by a 9-stage run in the RJ.500. The V.2500 would use 10 stages, with the first 4 with variable stators, giving a pressure ratio of 20:1. [4] A single-stage booster was also part of the original configuration.
In 1999, the rotating compressor business was sold to Rolls-Royce and Cooper Energy Services merged with Nickles Industrial Manufacturing and purchased Elliot Turbocharger Group, Inc. [2] In 2001, Cooper Energy Services and Cooper Turbocompresor combined to form Cooper Compression, which was later named Compression Systems in 2005. [2]
The Clyde used a two-shaft design, with an axial compressor based on that of the Metrovick F.2 [4] [5] for the low-pressure section, and a single-sided centrifugal compressor scaled up from the Merlin 46 supercharger [6] as the high-pressure stage, both mounted on the HP shaft and driven by a single stage HP turbine. A single stage power ...
The engine was designed for the Hughes AH-64 Apache and Sikorsky UH-60 Blackhawk, competing with the General Electric T700 and the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW100.The partners shared the £100 million development costs equally, Rolls-Royce made the turbines, the combustor, and the inlet particle separator while Turbomeca produced the axial-centrifugal compressor and intake.
The Rolls-Royce RR500 is a family of small gas turbine engines developed by Rolls-Royce Corporation. The RR500TP turboprop variant was intended for use in small aircraft. The RR500TS was the turboshaft variant designed for light helicopters. Development of the RR500 was abandoned in 2012.
The Rolls-Royce AE 3007 (US military: F137) is a turbofan engine produced by Rolls-Royce North America, sharing a common core with the Rolls-Royce T406 (AE 1107) and AE 2100. The engine was originally developed by the Allison Engine Company , hence the "AE" in the model number.
