Patent number: 9022732Abstract: A centrifugal pump is provided capable of pumping liquid volume flow rates of at least 20 m3/sec. The pump includes a centrifugal impeller rotatable about an axis and operable to direct a liquid towards a concrete volute arranged around the impeller. The pump further includes fixed fin-like elements arranged between the impeller and the volute. The elements form a discontinuous barrier around the impeller and are effective to reduce uneven radial thrusts exerted by the water on the centrifugal impeller, while limiting the water flow rate in a simple and economic manner.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2012Date of Patent: May 5, 2015Assignee: Alstom Technology Ltd.Inventors: Romain Julien Mathieu Prunieres, Florent Longatte, Franvois-Xavier Catelan
