The impeller is the dynamic heart of a centrifugal pump, responsible for transferring energy from the motor to the fluid. Its intricate design features vanes extending from an open central inlet, known as the eye. As the impeller spins, these vanes generate centrifugal force, propelling liquid from the casing to the discharge point.
There are several types of impellers, each offering distinct performance characteristics that make them more or less suitable for specific applications. The type and size of the impeller play a vital role in pump specification, as they directly impact the pump's efficiency, flow rate, and overall performance.
