Abstract
An extraction impeller for an axial compressor includes first vanes having an elongated S-shape arranged on the surface of an impeller body. The first vanes extend radially from an outer flow inlet edge of the body to a flow outlet hub centered on the surface at the rotation axis. A radially inner end of each of the first vanes connects at the flow outlet hub in a direction perpendicular to a rotation axis. Second vane(s) are arranged between adjacent first vanes, and third vanes are arranged between second vanes and between first vanes and second vanes. Second vanes are radially longer than third vanes. The impeller extracts air from the axial compressor and forms an axial flow with reduced vortex whistle. When used in an axial compressor of a gas turbine system, the impeller reduces flow unsteadiness.
