► IMPELLER | Main dimensions
The Main Dimensions menu item is used to define main dimensions of the impeller.
¢ Centrifugal/ Mixed-flow Pump/ Fan
¢ Axial Gas Turbine / Compressor
Problem |
Possible solutions |
---|---|
Automated Main dimensions are active. |
|
Main dimensions are updated automatically if any input parameters are modified. |
To fix the main dimensions you could uncheck the "Automatic" calculation. Then you have to manually start the calculation if required. |
Specific speed of impeller is beyond the supported range. |
|
The specific speed nq of the impeller is much too low or too high. The supported range is nq = 5 ... 500. |
Modify specific speed defined by n, Q, Δpt in the impeller Main dimensions and/or in the Global Setup. In some cases it may be necessary to select a different impeller type according to the specific speed. |
Specific speed of impeller is beyond the recommended range. |
|
The specific speed is lower or higher then the recommended values. This warning is generated for •centrifugal/ mixed-flow impellers with specific speed nq < 10 or nq > 160 •axial impellers with specific speed nq < 100 or nq > 400 |
Modify specific speed defined by n, Q, Δpt in the impeller Main dimensions and/or in the Global Setup. In some cases it may be necessary to select a different impeller type according to the specific speed. |
High pre-swirl numbers are unusual. |
|
The impeller is the first component of the project and the inflow swirl is defined by the Global setup. With very high pre-swirl an impeller design might be impossible. |
Adapt pre-swirl in the Global setup |
