A non-clogging type pump impeller includes: a fluid passage provided in an approximately cylindrical body and connecting a suction port to a discharge port. The fluid passage has a vortex shape as viewed from an axial direction. A first recess, which is sunk downwardly in the axial direction, is formed on a first end surface of the approximately cylindrical body so as to surround a boss. A second recess, which is sunk upwardly in the axial direction, is formed on a second end surface of the approximately cylindrical body so as to surround the suction port. At least one communication hole provides fluid communication between the first recess and the second recess. Sewage in the second recess is introduced into the first recess through the at least one communication hole to thereby effectively remove an air pocket trapped on the first end surface of the impeller and in the first recess.

An apparatus for controlling performance of a fluid machinery by controlling rotational speed of the fluid machinery. A performance regulating device for the fluid machinery includes a frequency converter, a casing for housing the frequency converter so as to ensure being airtight against an atmosphere, an input, and an output connected to the casing so as to ensure being airtight against the atmosphere.

Performance regulating device for fluid machinery

The present invention relates to a pump for delivering under pressure various liquids including water. The temperature of the handled liquid in a pump casing ( ) is detected by a thermistor ( ). If an increase in the temperature per time of the handled liquid is greater than a predetermined value, then the pump is shut down, or the flow rate or pressure of the liquid is changed depending on the temperature of the handled liquid detected by the thermistor based on a predetermined control program.

Fluid machinery

A fluid machinery for generating a pressure by rotating an impeller with a motor has a frequency converter (F) for supplying electric power to the motor, a detector for detecting a frequency and a current value, and a program for specifying in advance the relationship between the frequency and the current value. A frequency and a current value in an actual operation are compared with the specified program, and the frequency generated by the frequency converter (F) is varied so that an operating point of the fluid machinery approaches the specified program.
