Abstract
By changing a vane height to produce different vanes from master vanes, different impellers are produced, and therefore there can be obtained an inexpensive and high-reliability multistage centrifugal compressor and an impellers therefor. An impeller for multistage centrifugal compressor, which is to be mounted on a rotary shaft, comprises a plurality of vanes disposed between a disk and a shroud and separated from one another equiangularly. By changing the vanes of the impeller only in height without changing the configuration, vanes can be obtained, and then a different impeller comprising the disk, a shroud and vanes is also obtained. Since a whole of the vane has a configuration identical to a part of the vane, these vane can be produced by a single pair of the pressing dies.
