2. PRODUCT OF PROJECT
A number of problems in the aerospace, cryogenic and gas turbine technology requires
a large degree of compression of the gas at moderate total pressure loss.
As an alternative to traditional solutions,
such as using multiple axial or centrifugal
stage, it is proposed to use a completely
new device - a shock wave compressor,
which compresses the air in the optimum
system running shock waves
Ways to achieve high compression Associated problems
Increase the rotor rotation speed Reduction in efficiency due to the
formation of supersonic flows
Increase the number of stages
Growth in size, weighting the installation. In
some industries the problem of reducing
the size is particularly relevant
Traditional ways to improve the efficiency of the
compressors is almost completely exhausted.
3. TECHNOLOGY
The best way is to compress the compressed gas in the shock wave traveling.
The proposed scheme of wave compressor
is a rotor with a network of specially profiled
channels. Spinup to the rotor frequency,
providing a peripheral speed greater than
the speed of sound, creates a system of
shocks, which compresses gas.
Advantages:
• High compression ratio
• Considerably smaller dimensions
• The high pressure recovery coefficient
• Simplicity of design
The results achieved:
• We prove the basic feasibility of
technology
• Pressure ratio 16 was reached during
the calculations
• Total pressure recovery coefficient 0.93
The obtained parameters are superior to any of the
existing multi-stage systems
4. MARKETS
There are no workable analogues in the world at this moment
Industry applications :
• Combined Aircraft Engines
• Auxiliary power units for
aircrafts
• Engines for small unmanned
aerial vehicles
• Gas turbine engines
• Turbo-refrigerating units
• Turboexpanders
• Compressors for gas
compressing and storage
systems
• Turbopump assembly
• Ground-based gas turbine
power plants
Competing development :
The U.S. firm «Ramgen» is developing
in this direction. They have not been
able to create a workable from the
use of the Osvatich solution in their
calculations, which is not satisfied in
the case of traveling shock waves.
By 2026, the market for aircraft engines
for different purposes will be about $ 450
billion, and given the industrial gas
turbines, the market size will be about $
850 billion.
The largest markets are the engines of
aircrafts and auxiliary power units to
them, as well as gas turbine power
plants. Further efficiency
improvements in these areas is not
possible without the use of a new type
compressors.

Problem:
The creation of a wave compressor requires the provision of
high rotation speeds. Another innovative project of our team
solves this problem by creating a new type of non-contact
bearings.
NEEDS AND RESULTS
The outcome of the project will be the creation of a compressor with a high
compression ratio and high efficiency, which has no analogues in the world. The simplicity
of design, the small number of elements and the use of non-contact transmission provide
an almost endless resource of the system.
