A pump impeller, which can be part of a pump, has an impeller surface and blades being arranged on the impeller surface, wherein at least one of the blades is a blade of the first type which has a blade edge which is inclined toward the front in the rotational direction. The pump impeller can also have blades of a first type and of a second type, the blade geometries thereof differing from one another. A housing element for a pump or of a pump has a housing inner wall defining a flow channel for a fluid medium extending along a central axis. The cross section of the flow channel is greater in a main flow direction and the housing inner wall has a surface structure configured such that it counteracts a return flow counter to the main flow direction along the housing inner wall of the fluid medium.

The present disclosure is of a jet pump system, and reverse power generation system and other desirable applications consisting of an impeller with inlet vortex vanes and outlet vortex vanes. The inlet vortex vane induces rotational movement on mass entering the impeller inlet. The outlet vortex vanes remove swirl from mass exiting the impeller outlet. Embodiments include a jet pump system involving a pulley and belt which can allow for obstruction free movement of mass. In another embodiment the impeller is connected via an electromagnetic connection. In another embodiment the impeller acts as a rim-driven generator of electrical power. In another embodiment the drive pulley is a centrifugal clutch or uses a chain sprocket or tandem jet system in series.

A centrifugal blower includes an outer rotor, and a turbo fan. The turbo fan includes blades, an other end plate, and a cylinder portion. The cylinder portion is located inside the other end plate, and is fixed to the outer rotor. A surface of the outer rotor configures a rotor guide surface that guides an air flow toward a channel provided between adjacent blades. Each blade has a leading edge side portion located radially inside the cylinder portion. An outer end portion of the rotor guide surface in the radial direction is located at the same position in the axial direction as a one side cylinder end portion of the cylinder portion in the axial direction, in a state where a rotor contact portion of the outer rotor and a blade contact portion of the leading edge side portion are in contact with each other.

Disclosed in the present application is a blade and an axial flow impeller using same. The blade comprises a blade tip, a blade root, a leading edge, a trailing edge, an upper surface and a lower surface. The upper surface and lower surface are disposed opposite each other; the blade tip, the blade root, the leading edge and the trailing edge surround the upper surface and the lower surface, and connect the upper surface and the lower surface. The blade is rotatable about a rotation axis, the rotation axis being perpendicular to a normal plane. The blade tip comprises a blade tip base part and a blade tip trailing part, the blade tip base part being close to the leading edge, and the blade tip trailing part being close to the trailing edge and being bent upwards relative to the blade tip base part. An angle of attack of a chord of the blade tip trailing part is greater than an angle of attack of a chord of the blade tip base part, wherein the angle of attack is an acute included angle between the chord and the normal plane. The blade of the present application can provide a large air volume, and has higher static pressure and higher efficiency.

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed. A split shroud for an inner shroud of a gas turbine engine includes: at least one forward shroud segment and at least one aft shroud segment to couple to the at least one forward shroud segment, the at least one forward shroud segment and the at least one aft shroud segment forming a split line.

A fan blade (1) has a front inflow edge (2) and a rear outflow edge (3). The fan blade (1) has an at least partially wavy inflow edge (4) that forms a wave (W) having a specific three-dimensional waveform.

A blower of an HVAC system includes an air inlet, an air outlet, a blower wheel with blades, a motor operable to cause the blower wheel to rotate, and a blower housing within which the blower wheel is positioned. The blower housing includes a top panel, a bottom panel, and a connecting panel. The top panel and the bottom panel are connected to the connecting panel. The top panel includes a curved edge extending from a bottom edge of the connecting panel to a top edge of the connecting panel. An expansion angle of the curved edge of the top panel changes as a function of position along the curved edge of the top panel. The bottom panel may have a shape corresponding to a mirror image to that of the top panel.

A double curvature blade for a portion of system. The system may include a pump, such as a submersible pump. The pump may include a multiple or single stage pump. The pump may be powered by a selected motor.

A cooling fan creating a more stable airflow for heat-removing purposes, with reduced noise of operation, comprises a rotor hub and preferably an odd number of blades mounted on periphery of the rotor hub in unequal intervals. Adjacent blades are configured with different shapes, reducing the noise generated during operation without affecting the cooling effect.

The present disclosure provides a warm air blower. The warm air blower comprises a shell, a support, a cross-flow wind wheel and a volute tongue, wherein the cross-flow wind wheel and the volute tongue are arranged in the shell, the cross-flow wind wheel is located between the volute tongue and the shell, and the support is connected with the shell; and the cross-flow wind wheel comprises two oppositely arranged fixed plates and a plurality of blades connected between the two fixed plates, the cross section of the blade is arc-shaped, and the range of the arc-shaped chord length is 9-10 mm. According to the technical scheme, the frequency concentration of noise is avoided, the noise intensity is reduced, and the use experience of a user is improved.
