    Gear Pumps

    Presented by,
    R. Nekin Joshua
    External Gear Pump
    • Figure shows an external gear pump. It consist of two spur or helical
    gears, which are meshed with each other and mounted inside the
    casing.

    • One is driver and other is driven.


    • When the driver is rotated by means of any
    prime mover (i.e.. Electrical motor), driven also
    will rotate
    External Gear Pump

    • Thus partial vacuum is created at the inlet of the pump.

    • Oil is forced to enter the pump by atmospheric pressure.

    • Oil is trapped in the pockets between teeth and the casing and carried
    towards the outlet port.
    Internal Gear Pump

    • It has two gears, one is having external teeth and the other is having
    internal teeth.

    • The external gear is inside the internal gear. The two gears are in
    mesh with each other. A crescent seal is provided between these two
    gears, which fills the gap between the two gears.
    Internal Gear Pump

    • As the teeth of the gears comes out of mesh, a partial vacuum is


    created, and hence oil fills in the pockets between gear teeth and the
    crescent seal, trapped there, and carried from inlet to outlet.
    Lobe Pump

    • This pump is similar to external gear pump.

    • It consists of two rotors called lobes, one is driver and other is driven.

    • These lobes have very less number of ‘teeth’ (may be two, three or
    four) and they are in mesh with each other.

    • Due to less number of teeth, high discharged is achieved. Figure


    shows a lobe pump with three teeth in each rotor.

    • When the driver lobe is rotated by means of any prime mover, driven
    lobe also rotate.

    • Thus partial vacuum is created at the inlet of the pump.

    • Oil is forced to enter the pump by atmospheric


    Pressure
    • Oil is trapped in the pockets between teeth and
    the casing and carried towards the outlet port.
    Screw pump
    • The screw pump is a positive displacement pump, which comes with
    two or three screws. Each shaft has a left hand screw and a right hand
    screw, for a hydraulic pressure balance.
    • The single screw version called progressing cavity pump is shown in
    figure.
    • This pump has one inlet is at each end and the outlet is in the middle.
    • While running, liquid fills in the gap between the screws and the
    casing and moves it along with the screws from inlet to outlet.
    Screw pump
    A screw pump is an axial flow positive
    displacement unit. Three precision ground screws,
    meshing within a close fitting housing, deliver non
    pulsating flow quietly and efficiently. Two
    symmetrically opposed idler rotor screws act as
    rotating seals, confining the fluid in a succession of
    closures or stages. The idler rotors are in rolling
    contact with the central power rotor screw and are
    free to float in their respective housing bores on a
    hydrodynamic oil film. There are no radial bending
    loads. Axial hydraulic forces on the rotor set are
    balanced, eliminating any need for thrust bearing.
    Advantages of screw pump
    • Simplicity and compactness
    • Less number of parts
    • Low cost
    • Quit in operation
    • High operating speeds
    • Gear pumps are reversible
    Vane Pump
    It consist of a disc rotating eccentrically in the
    casing. The disc has a number of slots
    containing vanes, which are free to slide
    radially into the vanes. When the rotor rotates
    the disc, the vanes are pressed against the
    casing due to centrifugal force and forms the
    fluid tight seal. As the disc rotates, the fluid is
    trapped in the pockets formed between the
    vanes and the casing. The vanes build up
    enough pressure to force the fluid into the
    delivery pipe.
    In some type of designs, springs are used to
    press the vanes against the casing.
