Abstract
In order to provide a high-head, large-delivery turbopump adapted for excellent suction performance and foreign matter passability by having characteristics of an inducer, axial flow vanes, and mixed flow vanes imparted together to centrifugal vanes, a progressively diameter-increased suction casing rear part has arranged therein an impeller configured with two to four rotary vanes wound around a hub, to define rotary channels having a vane outlet channel width of 26% in proportion to a vane inlet outer circumference diameter, the rotary vanes being each respectively configured as a collision-less connection of an upstream axial-flow screw part provided with an inducer part extending into a suction fluid path of a suction casing front part at a vane inlet angle of 14°, an intermediate mixed-flow screw part, and a downstream centrifugal screw part.
