Abstract:
The present invention relates to a reinforcing structure for a casing accommodating an impeller. A double-suction centrifugal pump includes: a rotational shaft (1); an impeller (2) secured to the rotational shaft (1); a casing (3) that accommodates the impeller (2) therein; and legs (5) secured to the casing (3). The casing (3) includes a suction volute (20) that communicates with a suction port (6), the casing (3) includes an upper casing (3a) and a lower casing (3b) fastened to each other, at least one rib (28A, 28B, 28C) is provided on each of both side surfaces of the lower casing (3b) constituting the suction volute (20), the rib (28A, 28B, 28C) extends in a radial direction of the rotational shaft (1) when viewed from an axial direction of the rotational shaft (1), and the rib (28A, 28B, 28C) is separated from the legs (5).
