An impeller is a rotating component used to transfer energy to a fluid, typically in a pump or fan. It consists of a series of vanes or blades attached to a central hub, which rotates to create a flow of fluid. The design and shape of the impeller blades are crucial in determining the efficiency and performance of the pump or fan. Impellers can be classified based on their shape, such as radial, axial, or mixed-flow types, each suited for different applications. The rotational speed of the impeller, along with the fluid's properties, influences the flow rate and pressure generated. Impellers are commonly used in various industries, including water treatment, HVAC systems, and chemical processing, where they play a vital role in fluid handling and transfer. Proper maintenance and selection of impellers are essential to ensure optimal performance and longevity in these applications.
