Centrifugal Impeller For Hitachi Centrifugal Air Compressor
A centrifugal impeller is the core rotating component in a Hitachi centrifugal air compressor, responsible for accelerating air and converting velocity into pressure. For Hitachi units (e.g., HSP, MSG, or B-series models), impellers are precision-engineered for high-speed operation (often 15,000–60,000+ rpm) and demanding duty cycles. Key Specifications (Typical for Hitachi) Parameter Typical Range / Details Material High-strength aluminum alloy (e.g., 7075-T6), stainless steel (17-4 PH), or titanium Blade design 3D machined, backward-curved or radial blades for efficiency Diameter 100–500 mm depending on stage and capacity Hub treatment Anti-corrosion coating (anodizing, nickel plating) Balancing ISO 1940 G1.0 or G0.4 (high-precision dynamic balancing) Attachment Splined shaft, shrink fit, or bolted connection Common Hitachi Compressor Models Using Such Impellers HSP series (oil-free, two-stage,
