In Japan, a program of research and development of a 100 kW automotive ceramic gas turbine (CGT) has been carried out in the Petroleum Energy Center with active cooperation of petroleum, automobile and ceramics industries as well as other related industries. As a part of this research and development program, the authors have studied and developed a centrifugal compressor with variable inlet guide vanes for CGT engines. There has been a strong demand for a compressor with a high efficiency and a wide flow range. The compressor performance goals are an adiabatic efficiency of 81 % and a surge margin of 8 % under maximum power operating conditions. This paper describes the methods for designing impellers, diffusers and variable inlet guide vanes, and presents the results of compressor performance tests. The test results reveal that the surge margin and compressor efficiency at partial load are improved by using inlet guide vanes.
