Abstract: 23,696. Rees, E. S. G. Nov. 5. Centrifugal pumps.-The impeller of a centrifugal pump of the type described in Specification No. 4810, A.D. 1906, is provided with two or more rings of peripheral nozzles delivering into suitable ducts or channels in the casing. By this construction the external transverse dimensions of the pump are reduced. Figs. 1 and 2 show a double inlet impeller comprising a supporting-web b, a barrellike shell a, and blades f<1>. The web b is pierced at b<1>. A ring of nozzles d is provided on each side of the web, small blades f being fitted. The nozzles deliver into two rings of expanding velocity-converting ducts g which conduct the fluid to the delivery chamber h. The nozzles d are formed in the cylindrical part of the barrel-shaped shell a, and deliver the fluid in a transverse plane. In a modification, the nozzles are formed in a conical part of the shell, and deliver divergent jets. The receiving-ducts g are inclined to correspond. Fig. 4 shows a further modification in which the jets a' are convergent and are. received by a single duct separated from the impeller by a clear space. The bladed ducts g may be replaced by continuous annular diffusion channels. In this case the channel is preferably inclined in relation to the nozzle, delivering into it as shown at i, Fig. 3a. The discharge from the pump may be controlled by making one wall of the receiving-channel, as k, Fig. 5, longitudinally adjustable. Specifications Nos. 22,490 and No. 26,610, A.D. 1906, are referred to.
