Abstract
A centrifugal pump includes a motor having a shaft, and an impeller engaged with an end portion of the shaft such that a rotation of the impeller relative to the shaft is limited. The impeller includes a main panel engaged with the shaft, a plurality of passage walls extending from the main panel in an axial direction, a side panel in contact with end surfaces of the passage walls that face away from the main panel, the side panel having an inflow opening at a radially center part, and a fluid passage that is defined by the passage walls adjacent to each other in a circumferential direction, the fluid passage communicating with the inflow opening. The side panel includes an engagement portion configured to be engaged with a fixation jig that limits a rotation of the impeller during fixing the impeller to the shaft by screwing a nut.
