    This document discusses different types of positive displacement pumps. It describes rotary positive displacement pumps as pumps that use a rotating mechanism to create a vacuum that draws in fluid. There are five main types of rotary positive displacement pumps: gear pumps, screw pumps, rotary vane pumps, hollow disk pumps, and vibratory pumps. Rotary pumps are efficient at handling viscous fluids at high flow rates but need to operate at slow, steady speeds to avoid erosion from fluids at high speeds.

    A positive-displacement pump can be further classified according to the mechanism used

    to move the fluid:

     Rotary-type positive displacement: internal or external gear pump, screw


    pump, lobe pump, shuttle block, flexible vane or sliding vane, circumferential
    piston, flexible impeller, helical twisted roots (e.g. the Wendelkolben pump) or liquid-
    ring pumps
     Reciprocating-type positive displacement: piston pumps, plunger
    pumps or diaphragm pumps
     Linear-type positive displacement: rope pumps and chain pumps
    Rotary positive-displacement pumps[edit]

    Rotary vane pump

    These pumps move fluid using a rotating mechanism that creates a vacuum that
    captures and draws in the liquid. [3]
    Advantages: Rotary pumps are very efficient [4] because they can handle highly viscous
    fluids with higher flow rates as viscosity increases. [5]
    Drawbacks: The nature of the pump requires very close clearances between the rotating
    pump and the outer edge, making it rotate at a slow, steady speed. If rotary pumps are
    operated at high speeds, the fluids cause erosion, which eventually causes enlarged
    clearances that liquid can pass through, which reduces efficiency.
    Rotary positive-displacement pumps fall into 5 main types:

     Gear pumps – a simple type of rotary pump where the liquid is pushed between
    two gears
     Screw pumps – the shape of the internals of this pump is usually two screws
    turning against each other to pump the liquid
     Rotary vane pumps
     Hollow disk pumps (also known as eccentric disc pumps or Hollow rotary disc
    pumps), similar to scroll compressors, these have a cylindrical rotor encased in a
    circular housing. As the rotor orbits and rotates to some degree, it traps fluid between
    the rotor and the casing, drawing the fluid through the pump. It is used for highly
    viscous fluids like petroleum-derived products, and it can also support high pressures
    of up to 290 psi.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12]
     Vibratory pumps or vibration pumps are similar to linear compressors, having the
    same operating principle. They work by using a spring-loaded piston with an
    electromagnet connected to AC current through a diode. The spring-loaded piston is
    the only moving part, and it is placed in the center of the electromagnet. During the
    positive cycle of the AC current, the diode allows energy to pass through the
    electromagnet, generating a magnetic field that moves the piston backwards,
    compressing the spring, and generating suction. During the negative cycle of the AC
    current, the diode blocks current flow to the electr
