Title of the Micro-project:
Collect technical specifications of gear pumps and vane pumps.

1) Introduction:
A. Gear Pump:
Gear pumps are positive displacement rotary pumps that transport liquids using rotating
gears. They function through the use of two or more internal gears that create vacuum
pressure, propelling the fluid media. Gear pumps are compact, high pressure pumps which
provide a steady and pulseless fluid flow comparable to double diaphragm
pumps and peristaltic pumps. They are best suited for high viscosity pumping applications
such as oils, plastics, paint, adhesives, or soaps.

2) Types of Gear Pumps

Gear pumps are either external or internal based on their design and operation.
External gear pumps
External gear pumps utilize two identical gears with external teeth to generate flow.
The rotation of the gears is such that the liquid comes into the inlet port and
flows into and around the outer periphery of the two rotating gears. As the liquid comes
around the periphery it is discharged to the outlet port.

External gear pumps have close tolerances and shaft support on both sides of the gears.
This allows them to run to pressures beyond 3,000 psi / 200 bar and also provide greater flow
control and a more reliable measure of liquid passing through a pump.
It also means they are not well suited to handling abrasive or extreme high temperature fluids.
Slippage, which reduces efficiency and flow, increases as viscosity decreases and approaches
zero at 5000 SSU (Saybolt Universal Seconds).

INTERNAL GEAR PUMP

Internal gear pumps generate flow using a gear with externally-cut teeth contained in and
meshed with a gear with internally-cut teeth. As the gears come out of mesh on the inlet side,
liquid is drawn into the pump. The liquid is forced out the discharge port by the meshing of
the gears. Some contain a crescent shaped partition used to separate the inlet volume from the
discharge volume between the two gears.

B) VANE PUMPS:

Vane pumps are positive displacement pumps that use vanes mounted on a rotor to trap and
move fluid through the pump. They are widely used in various industries for their simplicity,
reliability, and versatility. Vane pumps are versatile and reliable positive displacement pumps
commonly used in various industries for fluid transfer and hydraulic applications. They
operate based on the principle of positive displacement, where fluid is moved by trapping it
between rotating vanes and the pump housing. Vane pumps are known for their efficiency,
smooth operation, and ability to handle a wide range of fluid viscosities and temperatures
Applications: Vane pumps are used in many industries, including automotive, industrial,
hydraulic, and marine applications. They are commonly found in hydraulic systems, fuel
transfer systems, lubrication systems, and more

VARIABLE DISPLACEMENT VANE PUMPS

Variable Displacement Vane Pumps are a type of vane pump that offers the capability to
adjust the displacement volume, providing flexibility in controlling flow rates. Unlike fixed
displacement vane pumps, where the displacement volume remains constant, variable
displacement vane pumps allow for on-the-fly adjustments to meet changing system
requirements.
