Advanced Aerodynamics and Enhanced Performance Give Our Customers the EDGE
A key achievement of the EDGE development program is our ability tooffer superior, three-dimensional impeller designs and stationary diaphragms. We do this by maximizing performance over a broad range ofpressure and flow applications using the latest aerodynamic design and analysis technologies. Toverify predicted performance, singlestage testing is performed in various configurations, such as with vaneless or vaned diffusers, or using high or low tip Mach numbers. Higher and lower flow stage ratings are derived from the prototype test data to form a family of stages. Within each stage family, impeller geometry is fixed; blade heights are varied for higher or lower flows. Using this methodology, several stage families are used to span the desired flow coefficient range. Impellers and stationary components are then scaled up or down for different frame sizes. For maximum flexibility, EDGE aerodynamic components are also scalable from 90percent to 100percent size within eachcompressor frame size. Impeller manufacturing applies five-axis milling to ensure the quality of the advanced impeller designs. Impellers are stress relieved, machine finished, balanced statically and dynamically, spin tested, andthen mounted with an interference-fit onto the shaft. Shaftto-impeller keys are used for extra stability in high pressure or high power applications. EDGE compressors use either fabricated steel diaphragms or a combination cast-and-fabricated steel design where thickness precludes using steel plate alone. Precision machining ensures dimensional accuracy and significantly improves the diaphragm surface finish. Diaphragms are horizontally split and finished at all horizontal and peripheral joints and on gas path surfaces.

A Commitment to WorldClassManufacturing
Elliott employs high-quality production techniques that minimize cycle time and costs while providing our customers withthe most competitive and reliable products. Our engineering and manufacturing facilities in Jeannette, Pennsylvania, and Sodegaura, Japan, rank among the worlds most advanced forturbomachinery design, production, and testing. Our combined manufacturing capabilities include Masterhead machining centers forcasing machining, rotor machining centers, and diaphragm machiningcenters. Our rotor balancing facilities include astateoftheart Schenck Trebeldesigned balancing machine housed in a bunker-style vacuum chamber. The top of this reinforced concrete facility slides away via hydraulic motors, permitting rotors to be lowered onto the balancing equipment. Our recently modernized and expanded test facilities enable usto validate the mechanical integrity and performance of ourcomponents and overall systems. Our new main test facility, whichincreased our capacity by50percent, contains ahighvolume, closed loop, speciallydesigned cooling system with the capacity for testing gas turbine-driven compressor trains atfull loads up to 100,000 HP.
Standardization of Components
In developing the EDGE compressor product line, wefocused on standardizing components and hardware to reduce costs and improve reliability across a wide array of applications. The EDGE product line consists of 15 standard frame sizes, which are scaled from the 38M median frame size. Casing bores and internal aerodynamic hardware, such as impellers,
10
diaphragms, and shafts, are scaled. Scaling aerodynamic components improves performance predictability and increases reliability bypreserving geometric similarity across frame sizes.Bearings and seals are selected from vendor standard sizes for each application.
