Abstract
Abstract A side-channel pump comprising an open impeller (11) and a side-channel (13A; 13B) formed with a semi-circular side wall and having an inlet (14) and an outlet (15). Between the inlet and the outlet there is provided a bead (21) projecting substantially axially into the side-channel, which is located in the vicinity of the inlet and has a height which ranges from about 25% to about 40% of the internal radius of the side-channel.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
131 words
Side-channel pump comprising an open impeller; a side-channel formed with a semi-circular side wall and having an inlet and an outlet; and a bead projecting substantially axially into the side-channel and located between the inlet and the outlet at an angular distance from the center of the inlet as seen in the rotational direction of the impeller of about 1/5 of the arc over which the side-channel extends from the center of the inlet to the center of the outlet and having a height of about 25% to about 40% of the internal radius of the side-channel at least a portion of the bead extending helically in the rotational direction of the gas flow passing through the side channel at a pitch angle ranging from about 10° to about 30° .
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
131 words
Side-channel pump comprising an open impeller; a side-channel formed with a semi-circular side wall and having an inlet and an outlet; and a bead projecting substantially axially into the side-channel and located between the inlet and the outlet at an angular distance from the center of the inlet as seen in the rotational direction of the impeller of about 1/5 of the arc over which the side-channel extends from the center of the inlet to the center of the outlet and having a height of about 25% to about 40% of the internal radius of the side-channel at least a portion of the bead extending helically in the rotational direction of the gas flow passing through the side channel at a pitch angle ranging from about 10° to about 30° .
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
Side-channel pump as claimed in claim 1 in which the radially outer portion of the bead is angled towards the inlet at a pitch angle ranging from about 10° to about 30° .
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words

Claim 5
Dependent Claim
113 words
Side channel pump comprising an open impeller; a side-channel formed with a semi-circular side wall and having an inlet and an outlet and a bead, the wall of the side-channel as well as the bead being semi-circular; the bead projecting substantially axially into the side channel and located between the inlet and the outlet at an angular distance from the center of the inlet as seen in the rotational direction of the impeller of about 1/5 of the arc over which the side-channel extends from the center of the inlet to the center of the outlet and having a height of about 25% to about 40% of the internal radius of the side-channel.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
113 words
