Zusammenfassung:An inlet guide vane apparatus includes a compressor end cap connectable with a main body of a compressor housing and a housing portion connected to the end cap. The housing portion and the end cap cooperatively define a fluid flow passageway and guide vane openings extending into the fluid flow passageway. The inlet guide vane apparatus also includes a ring gear rotatable relative to at least one of the housing portion and the end cap and guide vanes connected to the housing portion and the end cap. Each guide vane extends through one of the guide vane openings and includes a vane gear operably connectable with the ring gear and disposed at an exterior of the housing portion and a vane disposed within the fluid flow passageway. Each guide vane is rotatable such that an orientation of the vane within the fluid flow passageway is selectively adjustable.
