impeller blade

impeller vane

Any one of the vanes on the impeller of a centrifugal compressor, serving to take in air and accelerate it radially outward. Also called an impeller blade. See impeller (ii).

This is due to air leaving and reentering the impeller inlet (recirculation), changes to the angle of air leaving the impeller blade (slip), shearing of air between the rotating impeller and adjacent stationary walls (disc friction), and other real flow effects not considered in the ideal assumptions used to derive Equation 16 [9].

Traditional centrifugal compressors with design capacities of 967kW (275 ton) and less also begin to suffer a degradation of full load efficiency due to the smaller impeller blade spacing which increases the flow friction losses (Stoecker and Jones 1982).

The distance from the surface of the liquid to the centreline of the impeller (submergence, S) was varied from the impeller blade height to half of the total liquid depth (0.01 m < S < 0.12 m).
