Abstract
The basic demands which are placed upon turbocharger compressors operating with maximum air-mass-flows from 1.0 kgs −1to 30.0 kgs −1are outlined. A review is made of the natural development which has taken place with one European manufacturer of turbochargers since 1948, and comments are made as to the possible trends in turbocharger compressor development in the future. A compressor type is selected for investigation, and sufficient design and performance data are presented to enable its general use as a baseline computer performance prediction test case. Compressor design and performance parameters, which are of interest to the turbocharger compressor designer, are also reviewed.
