  • Publication number: 20060120866
    Abstract: The centrifugal impeller includes a plurality of blades (3), a plurality of fluid paths (P) for delivering a fluid from an impeller inlet (1) to an impeller outlet (2), and a shroud (4) and a hub (5) for forming the fluid paths (P). Each of the fluid paths (P) is formed between adjacent two of the blades (3). A curved line (L3) of the shroud (4) curves so as to project toward the hub (5) in a region from a blade inlet (A) to a predetermined position (C) of the blade (3), and the curved line (L3) curves so as to project toward the opposite side of the hub (5) in a region from the predetermined position (C) to a blade outlet (B).

  • Patent number: 6435836
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pump for delivering under pressure various liquids including water. The temperature of the handled liquid in a pump casing (1) is detected by a thermistor (51). If an increase in the temperature per time of the handled liquid is greater than a predetermined value, then the pump is shut down, or the flow rate or pressure of the liquid is changed depending on the temperature of the handled liquid detected by the thermistor based on a predetermined control program.
