ABSTRACT:
An impeller includes vane grooves arranged with respect to the rotative direction. At least the radially inner side of a back surface of each vane groove is radially outwardly inclined backwardly with respect to the rotative direction. The back surface has a radially inner end and a radially outer end, which are connected via a line segment. The line segment and a radius of the impeller define a backward inclining angle α therebetween. The back surface is inclined from a thickness center of the impeller toward each thickness-end of the impeller forwardly with respect to the rotative direction. The thickness-center and the thickness-end are connected via a line segment. The line segment and the thickness-center define a forward inclining angle β therebetween. The angle α, β satisfy the following relationships: 15°≦α≦30°; β≦60°; and 1≦β/α≦4.
