6. Centrifugal pumps
6.1 Influence of construction parameters
Cavitation in centrifugal pumps is very similar in nature to that found in the pumps we've already looked at. It first appears in low-pressure areas: at the leading edge of the vane on the suction side. As the inlet pressure decreases, the vapour pocket progressively extends downstream, as shown in figure 32 , and in different ways depending on the flow rate, due to the variation in incidence at the leading edge of the blades.
