& Hayward Gordon Process Solutions since 1952 IMPELLER TECHNOLOGYThis style of hydrofoil isthe mos flow efficient impeller for low viscosity blending applications {up to 2,500 eps). tis elso used on solid suspension mixing probloms where a relatively low percent solids will be encountered (free setting applications). The two most common configurations are 3 blades ‘mounted on either a 45° hub or a 39° hub. This design thas the narrowest blades and therefore sometimes referred to as a “low solidity" hydrofoil The AM Hydrofol with its slightly wider blade than the {AL design is useful on applications were viscosities ‘of 2,000,000 eps. are encountered or when a smal ‘amaunt of gas handling capability is required. Thoy ‘are commonly applied to solid suspension applications Which have a relatively high percent solids (35-65%) Particularly when solid size is small which sets up an ‘apparent viscosity in the slurry This stye of hydrofoil is sometimes referred to as a "mid solidity" design. ae ‘The AH design is characterized by a very wide blade and is the most flow efficient impeller available for higher viscosity mixing (2,500 to 75,000 cps). The AH is the impeller of choice for coarse gas dispersion applications when bottom flow velocities are also required, ie. gas dispersion with solid suspension The two most common configurations are 3 blades ‘mounted on a 39° hub and 4 blades mounted on a 45 hub. The 3 blade version is used for high viscosity blending while the 4 blade design is for gas dispersion. This style of hydrofoil is sometimes referred to as 2 “high solidity" design, agR s 8 The HP impeller is more flow efficient than a Pitched Blade Turbine and therefore imparts less shear into the fluid, The HP power number lies between the PBT {and the AL whichis indicative of its flow and shear characteristics, itis often used on small to medium size mixers as a cost effective hydrofoil. In addition, the HP can be useful on taller tank applications because it can invest the same or greater torque into 2 fluid at lower speeds than an AL impeller, normally allowing longer shaft lengths. ‘The Pitched Blade Turbine is more flow efficient than ‘the radial style impellers and produces more fluid shear than the hydrofoil impellers. Its the impeller of choice ‘whan both low velocity and fluid shear is required andjor when very high mixing intensity is required when the use ofa hydrofoil would result in too high 2 tip speed or operating speed. The most common configurations are 4 blades pitched at 45° and cither 3 or 4 blades pitched at 32. The 32° varity can handle slightly higher viscosty and is useful in low level mixing ‘operations. This style of impeller isthe least expensive axial flow impeller. ‘The Curved Blade or Retreat Curve Turbine isthe ‘most flow efficient radial flow impeller. It is used inflow sensitive (maximum pumping desired) applications when pumping in the radial direction is required. Typical applications include plug flow break-up, heat transfer, low level lending and low level sold suspension.‘The Radial Blade Turbine can be the impeller of choice when very high torque is required for blanding applications atthe expense of flow ‘efficiency. Other uses for this impeller include high shear applications other than gas dispersion, ie. Liqui¢-liquid emulsions, solids scrubbing, or where Jow level mixing requirements need an impeller located close to the tank bottom. This vertical flat blade, radial flow, disctype turbine 's available as both a 4 and 6 blade design, withthe 6 bladed version being the most common. The style |s commonly referred to as the Rushton impeller. This high shear deviee is normelly employed on {938 dispersion applications. This impeller is similar to the Rushton turbine except curved blades are substituted forthe vertical flat blades resulting in a lower power number. Although itis more expensive than the Rushton, itis able to handle more gas before flooding and does not ‘experience as great a power drop-off due to gas loading, However at elevated power levels, it produces similar mass transfer as the Rushton design.[ee ce en een ee design and the most appropriate applications.
