Abstract
The sewage pumps are demanded a high pump efficiency and a performance in passing foreign bodies. Therefore, the impeller used by these usages requires the large passed particle size (minimum particle size in the pump). However, because conventional design method of pump impeller results in small impeller exit width, it is difficult to be applied to the design of single-blade centrifugal pump impeller which is used as a sewage pump. This paper proposes a design method for single-blade centrifugal pump impeller. As a result, the head curve of the impeller designed by the proposed design method satisfied design specifications, and pump efficiency was over 62% more than conventional single-blade centrifugal pump impeller. By comparing design values with CFD analysis values, the suction velocity ratio of the design parameter agreed well with each other, but the relative velocity ratio did not agree due to the influence of the backflow of the impeller entrance.
