Abstract
Abstract A hydrodynamic pump comprising a casing in which a shaft having a plurality of spaced impellers is mounted. The casing is formed with diffuser channels interposed between successive impellers. Each diffuser channel comprises a curved section communicating with the outlet of one impeller and an axially-radial centripetal guide channel having a plurality of vanes located therein. Each of the vanes has a curved pressure face and a curved suction face. The angles of inclination of the curvature of the pressure and suction faces at the inlet end of the vanes are both within the range of 5° to 30°. The angle of inclination of curvature of the outlet with respect to the suction face of the vane is within one 100° to 130° and the angle of inclination of the curvature of the outlet with respect to the discharge pressure face is between 60° to 90°.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
149 words
A hydrodynamic pump comprising a casing a shaft rotatably mounted in said casing, a plurality of spaced impellers is mounted on said shaft and extending outwardly from the axis thereof and having a central inlet and a radial peripheral outlet and a liquid diffuser channel interposed between successive impellers, each of said channels comprising a vaneless radial intake section communicating with the outlet of the preceeding impeller a curved elbow section generally extending parallel to the axis of said shaft and a straight section generally extending radially to the axis of said shaft, a plurality of guide vanes located within said elbow and straight sections, each of said guide vanes having curved pressure and suction surfaces, the curvature of which is shaped to provide a smooth and gradual change from axial to radially directed centripetal flow, and an outlet section communicating with the central inlet of the succeeding impeller.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
149 words
A hydrodynamic pump comprising a casing a shaft rotatably mounted in said casing, a plurality of spaced impellers is mounted on said shaft and extending outwardly from the axis thereof and having a central inlet and a radial peripheral outlet and a liquid diffuser channel interposed between successive impellers, each of said channels comprising a vaneless radial intake section communicating with the outlet of the preceeding impeller a curved elbow section generally extending parallel to the axis of said shaft and a straight section generally extending radially to the axis of said shaft, a plurality of guide vanes located within said elbow and straight sections, each of said guide vanes having curved pressure and suction surfaces, the curvature of which is shaped to provide a smooth and gradual change from axial to radially directed centripetal flow, and an outlet section communicating with the central inlet of the succeeding impeller.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
80 words
The pump according to claim 1 wherein the angle of inclination of the curvature of said pressure and suction faces at the inlet end of said vanes is within the range of 5° to 30° and the angle of inclination of curvature with respect to the suction face at the outlet of said vane is within 100° to 130° and the angle of curvature with respect to the discharge pressure face of the outlet angle is between 60° to 90°.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
40 words
A pump according to claim 1 including a second elbow interposed between said straight section and the inlet of the succeeding impeller said elbow being shaped to direct the flow substantially parallel to the intake surface of said succeeding blade.
