Obtained efficiency of centrifugal pumps with low specific speed is not high. In order to reduce hydraulic losses, a modified impeller channel with micro grooves was designed and patented. The article focuses on the impact of microgeometry on the efficiency of centrifugal pumps with extremely low specific speed (n(q)<8). The results of experiments carried out on a test rig were presented. The characteristics of centrifugal pumps with a smooth impeller and one with micro blades/micro grooves were compared. To identify the flow phenomena, preliminary CFD calculations were performed. The obtained distribution of pressure and velocity fields on specific control panels were compared. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd.
