Abstract
Abstract A stator of a multistage centrifugal compressor, comprising a casing, stages accommodated therein and made up each of a diaphragm, a vaned diffuser and a return guide vane assembly placed one after another in the direction of flow of the medium being compressed and forming a fluid passage. The stage return guide vane assembly is rigidly fixed on the diaphragm of the next stage. The vaned diffuser of each stage is rigidly connected to the diaphragm and the stage return guide vane assembly, their joint being arranged on a diameter less than the maximum diameter of a fluid passage.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
194 words
In a multistage centrifugal compressor, a stator comprising a series of stages coaxially arranged one after the other, with each stage including in the direction of flow of the fluid which is compressed an annular diaphragm, an annular vaned diffuser, and an annular return guide vane assembly, the latter being situated between the vaned diffuser of one stage and the diaphragm of the next stage and all of said diaphragms, vaned diffusers, and return guide vane assemblies surrounding a common axis, and said vaned diffuser with the return guide vane assembly of one stage forming with the diaphragm of the next stage a group of three components, said groups of three components being situated one after the other along said axis, and a single fastening means fastening together the components of each group, so that a vaned diffuser, followed by a return guide vane assembly and the latter followed by a diaphragm are all connected together by one fastening means, while the next group of three components are fastened together by a second fastening means, and so on, and an additional fastening means fastening each vaned diffuser to the diaphragm of the preceding group.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
194 words
In a multistage centrifugal compressor, a stator comprising a series of stages coaxially arranged one after the other, with each stage including in the direction of flow of the fluid which is compressed an annular diaphragm, an annular vaned diffuser, and an annular return guide vane assembly, the latter being situated between the vaned diffuser of one stage and the diaphragm of the next stage and all of said diaphragms, vaned diffusers, and return guide vane assemblies surrounding a common axis, and said vaned diffuser with the return guide vane assembly of one stage forming with the diaphragm of the next stage a group of three components, said groups of three components being situated one after the other along said axis, and a single fastening means fastening together the components of each group, so that a vaned diffuser, followed by a return guide vane assembly and the latter followed by a diaphragm are all connected together by one fastening means, while the next group of three components are fastened together by a second fastening means, and so on, and an additional fastening means fastening each vaned diffuser to the diaphragm of the preceding group.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
The combination of claim 1 and wherein each diaphragm is formed with a recess receiving portions of both fastening means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
61 words
The combination of claim 2 and wherein each vaned diffuser includes a pair of discs one of which is situated next to the following return guide vane assembly and is fixed to the latter as well as the following diaphragm by said first mentioned fastening means while the other disc is fixed by the second fastening means to the preceding diaphragm.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
40 words
The combination of claim 3 and wherein all of said fastening means are coaxially arranged and extend parallel to the common axis surrounded by said groups of components, and all of said fastening means being spaced one from the next.
