  • Patent number: 11525454
    Abstract: A process for optimizing the design of a semi-open centrifugal pump impeller involves the steps of, reducing the number of long blades and adding a medium length splitter blade and a short length splitter blade having varying circumferential distances between any two optimized long blades. Each medium length and short length splitter blade have the same outlet position, profile and thickness as the optimized long blade; however, the medium length and short length splitter blades have different inlet positions relative to the optimized long blade. The long blade, medium length splitter blade and short length splitter blade are arranged in circumferential sequence along the direction of rotation of the impeller. This optimization improves various problems arising from the original semi-open centrifugal pumps, including low efficiency, significant loss at the inlet, inlet cavitation, separation of boundary layers at the blade inlets, narrow lift range of the dead point and excessive noise.

  • Publication number: 20210192103
    Abstract: An optimal design method for cutting at an impeller inlet provides a parameter selection and an optimal method for cutting lengths of a vertical side and a horizontal side, of the inlet, a diameter of the inclined position of the front and rear cover plates, the wall thickness ?1 of the front cover plate and the rear cover plate at an exit of the impeller after the inclination optimization, the number and wrap angle ? of the long blades after optimization, an inlet diameter Dsi, arc length, axial offset degree, inclination angle, and the thickness of the splitter blades. The method is simple in implementation and can effectively improve the performance of the jet-type self-priming centrifugal pumps.
