Compressor
A compressor includes a housing; an impeller rotatably installed in the housing; a guidance unit connected to the housing at a first end of the guidance unit and configured to guide a fluid discharged by the impeller, the guidance unit configured to change a flow direction; and a scrolling unit connected to a second end opposite to the first end of the guidance unit. A width of an opening via which the fluid enters a circular space of the scrolling unit is about 1.5 to about 3.5 times a height of the guidance unit.
1. A compressor comprising:
a housing;
an impeller rotatably installed in the housing;
a guidance unit connected to the housing at a first end of the guidance unit and configured to guide a fluid discharged by the impeller, the guidance unit configured to change a flow direction from the impeller;
a diffuser rotatably installed in the guidance unit; and
a scrolling unit connected to a second end opposite to the first end of the guidance unit,
wherein a width of an opening via which the fluid enters a circular space of the scrolling unit is about 1.5 to about 3.5 times a height of the guidance unit
wherein a first length corresponding to a length from a rotation center of the impeller to a point where the guidance unit is bent at a radially inner wall is about 1.15 to about 1.3 times greater than a second length corresponding to a length from the rotation center of the impeller to a trailing edge of the diffuser.
2. The compressor of claim 1 , wherein the width of the opening extends in a radial direction of the compressor and the height of the guidance unit extends in an axial direction of the compressor.
3. The compressor of claim 1 , wherein the guidance unit comprises:
a first guidance unit extending in a radial direction; and
a second guidance unit connected to the first guidance unit and extending substantially perpendicularly from the first guidance unit, the second guidance unit connected to the scrolling unit,
wherein the opening corresponds to the second guidance unit and the height corresponds to the height of the first guidance unit.
4. A compressor comprising:
a housing;
an impeller rotatably installed in the housing;
a guidance unit connected to the housing at a first end of the guidance unit and configured to guide a fluid discharged by the impeller, the guidance unit configured to change a flow direction from the impeller;
a diffuser rotatably installed in the guidance unit,
wherein the diffuser comprises a blade including a trailing edge; and
a scrolling unit connected to a second end opposite to the first end of the guidance unit,
wherein a width of an opening via which the fluid enters a circular space of the scrolling unit is about 1.5 to about 3.5 times a height of the guidance unit,
wherein a first length corresponding to a length from a rotation center of the impeller to a point where the guidance unit is bent at a radially inner wall is about 1.15 to about 1.3 times greater than a second length corresponding to a length from the rotation center of the impeller to the trailing edge of the blade.
5. The compressor of claim 4 , wherein the width of the opening extends in a radial direction of the compressor and the height of the guidance unit extends in an axial direction of the compressor.
6. The compressor of claim 4 , wherein the guidance unit comprises:
a first guidance unit extending in a radial direction; and
a second guidance unit connected to the first guidance unit and extending substantially perpendicularly from the first guidance unit, the second guidance unit connected to the scrolling unit,
wherein the opening corresponds to the second guidance unit and the height corresponds to the height of the first guidance unit.
