Application Note
SU consists of a double impeller with a distance of >1.2 times the diameter of the impeller (di), between the two impellers, to ensure that the impellers act independently of each other, while our Applikon vessels are outfitted with a single impeller. An additive power number (Np) can then be used in calculations for a suitable power input.

Impeller characterization and selection: Balancing efficient
Current literature relies almost exclusively on the power number to compare and characterize impellers. Industrial mixing requirements may rely on conditions far away from the impeller. A protocol is proposed to compare impellers designed for turbulent mixing on the basis of impeller hydrodynamic performance and mixing process objectives.
