Vertical Shaft Surface Aerators

[cvis]

thread407-257207

Hi
Does anyone have good design information on calculating the forces involved in vertical shaft surface aerators (typically the aerators used in aeration of biological reactors)? I'm trying to find out how to calculate the radial and axial thrust on the impeller.

Thanks for any help.

You will probably be best served to obtain this information from the manufacturer.
