Abstract
In recent years a variety of profiled axial flow impellers has been developed. The aim of the present research work is to investigate the performance of these impellers and to contribute to the understanding of the gas dispersion mechanism. Three impeller types have been compared: a standard inclined blade impeller and the profiled A315 and Leeuwrik impeller. Important parameters are pumping capacity, turbulence intensity, gas dispersion performance, power consumption and mass transfer. It is concluded that in most of these respects the profiled impellers offer advantages over traditional impellers.
