The vortex prevention device is used in combination with the double suction vertical pump which is installed in an open channel (1) and has an upper suction opening (10a) and a lower suction opening (10b). The vortex prevention device includes a plate member (20) as a vortex prevention structure arranged above the upper suction opening. The plate member (20) is arranged away from the upper suction opening (10a) such that a passage is formed between the plate member (20) and the upper suction opening (10a).</p> |
