Abstract: High-speed balancing of bladed rotors is usually performed in a VACUUM chamber to avoid high turbulence power loss. VACUUM chamber with integrated burst protection, makes it possible to high-speed balance and spin-test small to medium sized turbo-rotors right on the shop floor. The innovative system design provides a variety of unique features to absorb the energy released when a rotor burst occurs. Safety "crush zones" are engaged and easily restored in the event of a significant burst. In this projects a VACUUM chamber used for high speed turbine will be designed and modeled in 3D modeling will be done in Pro/Engineer. The VACUUM chamber designed will be easy setup for rotors up to 17,500 lbs., up to 67 inches in diameter, at speeds of up to 60,000 RPM. In this project structural, modal analysis and fatigue analysis will be done in Ansys. The present used material for VACUUM chamber is steel. In this project it is replaced with aluminum alloy, brass and acrylic.
