The invention comprises a centrifugal impeller that exhibits relatively high operating efficiency and high pressure capability, and can be easily constructed as a single piece. The invention suits itself towards applications where relatively high operating efficiency and low cost construction are required. The invention particularly suits itself towards manufacture by injection molding plastic. The impeller is characterized by: a) a hub that extends to a radius less than that of the impeller inlet, allowing one piece construction by an injection molding tool with no slides or action; b) blades that extend from a radius less than the hub radius at the base of the blades, allowing the base of the blades to connect to the hub; c) an impeller top shroud that has curvature in a plane that contains the impeller axis; and d) a cylindrical area ratio between 1.0 and 2.0. The blower assembly is characterized by a separate base plate positioned in close proximity to the base of the impeller blades. The base plate can be incorporated into a motor flange or a blower or motor housing. |
