Abstract
A diffuser for converting high velocity fluid into high pressure fluid. The diffuser includes a pair of spaced opposing walls between which extend a plurality of blades. Each of the blades has a pressure side and a suction side, wherein the pressure side of one of the blades is adjacent the suction side of another one of the blades. Each pair of adjacent blades and spaced walls define a channel that extends from an inlet end to an outlet end with a generally increasing cross-sectional area. The suction side of each blade has a height greater than the pressure side of the adjacent blade defining the channel whereby the fluid is less likely to stall due to separation from the suction side. Each blade has a leading edge positioned at a 10° angle further minimizing the incidence of stall and increasing the operating range of the diffuser.
