Abstract
The paper presents a new approach to designing the stator of a multistage centrifugal pump, which has a simple structure, satisfactory operating parameters, and is easy to manufacture. The stator is distinguished by its lack of a classic diffuser part, with the shape of its crossover being similar to a segment of a spherical surface. This solution was patented in 1989, but to date it is not well known and practically not used. The paper attempts to identify the flow phenomena in such a stator and also to examine the impact of the design features of the stator on the pump’s operating parameters. Both experimental methods and numerical modelling were used in the research.
