ABSTRACT:
A hydrofoil impeller includes three impeller blades attached to a hub. Each impeller blade includes a flat section and a curved section which terminates in a tip portion. The flat section has a root portion proximate the hub and which forms a predetermined root angle with respect to a plane perpendicular to the vertical axis of the impeller. The curved section is separated from the flat portion by a bend line. The curved section is bent downwardly from the plane of the flat section along the bend line. The bend line is oriented with respect to the impeller blade such that the blade tip angle is changed as the bend is formed. Accordingly, the bend is used to set the proper tip angle. The blade angle increases from the tip inward to the bend line, then becomes a constant where attached to the hub. The camber increase from the tip inward to the bend line, then falls to zero where attached to the hub.
