Abstract:
An impeller for a fluid pump includes a hub having an outer surface; an outer ring which is concentric with the hub and having an inner surface; and a plurality of blades extending from a root at the outer surface to a tip at the inner surface. Each of the blades has a first leg and a second leg which meet at a vertex such that a concave side of the blades faces toward a rotational direction and such that a convex side of the blades faces away from the rotational direction. The concave side of each one of the plurality of blades forms a draft angle with the convex side of another one of the plurality of blades which is immediately adjacent thereto in the rotational direction. The draft angle at the inner surface is less than or equal to 10% of the draft angle at the outer surface.
