Reverse Vane Impellers ‘A teverse vane impeller has only one set of pumping vanes and one crtcal tolerance. This single tolerance ~ between the impeller andthe rear cover ~establ shes: + Performance + Efficiency + Seal chamber pressure + Thrust loads ‘Wear between the reverse vane impeller and the rea cover ‘causes axial thrust loads to decrease as the seal chamber gap widens. At the same time, seal chamber pressure increas By adjusting the setting ofthe reverse vane impeller against its single tolerance locaton, the original seal chamber pres sure and axial thrust loads are re-established.
