Summary
The Inducer Pump Program was initiated to demonstrate the applicability and advantages of an inducer pump to the LMFBR. The inducer is a pump blading which is specifically tailored to provide excellent suction performance. Operating suction specific speeds two to three times those for the inlet of a centrifugal impeller can be achieved with a properly and conservatively designed inducer. When coupled to a centrifugal impeller, the inducer offers excellent suction performance which can be effectively used to optimize pump efficiency, reduce pump size, and reduce pump cost. Four major efforts were undertaken during the five quarters of GFY 1976 to demonstrate and verify the inducer's suitability and applicability to LMFBR pumps, and to quantify the advantages of the inducer pump. The efforts are summarized.
