Best Answer

In axial flow compressors, the primary purpose of IGVs (fixed or variable) is to guide the airflow onto the first stage rotor blades at an appropriate or required angle of attack.

Open cycle arrangement of a gas turbine?

1. The working gas is compressed in compressor and directed towards the heat exchanger (Air heater), where heat is being added to the compressed gas before it enters the turbine. 2. The heat is supplied by an external source such as a nuclear reactor, or some other heat source. 3. The hot gasses then expend and accelerate through a nozzle which drive the guide vanes of the turbine and then shaft. 4. At last, the remaining exhaust gasses pass through a cooler and directed towards the compressor inlet.


What are variable inlet guide vanes?

The first link has a picture of some of these vanes: first column, second row. VIGVs direct air into the first rotor stage. They have the effect of improving the difference between the mass flows at operating points in the mid-range and corresponding surge points (which are catastrophic points at which flow through the stage could spontaneously reverse). Please see the second link and third.


What is difference between stall and surge?

stall happen due to too much suction feed but less discharge and will prevent by implemented inlet guide vanes, surge happen due to less suction feed at operating speed and will prevent by intalling recycle line or anti surge line.
