Journal Article · · Chem. Pet. Eng. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
OSTI ID:6169204

The author explains the problems in design that cause the inefficiency of conventional low-discharge centrifugal pumps. He then describes the design and operation of an impeller with improved energy characteristics. He concludes that the new design, intermediate between an impeller with cylindrical channels and the conventional impellers with straight vanes, makes it possible to expand the recommended adjustment range of the pump's delivery and to increase the pressure and efficiency by approximately 9%.
