Design of external gear pump

Gear pump has very high pressures and the ability to pump highly
viscous fluids.

There are two main variations:

External gear pumps: -
Internal gear pumps:

External gear pump has

driving gear
driven gear
Cont.
• The pump has a positive internal seal against leakage.
• clearance between gear teeth and housing and between side plate.
• The amount of fluid discharge is determined by
the number of gear teeth
the volume of fluid between each pair of teeth and
the speed of rotation
• The advantage of gear pump relative to other types of pump are: -
compact, relatively inexpensive and have few moving parts.

• major limitation: cavitation
• Used CFD
• effect of cavitation in the volumetric efficiency of external gear pumps.
• higher the pump speed-- shorter the time for cavitation clouds to
dissipate before a new cavitation mechanism takes place. So, more

 Gear design
• Geometrical design
 Tooth profile
• Involute tooth profile – constant pressure angle, resulting smooth
motion and less wear. Better than cycloidal for our project.
• 200 full depth involute system - a stronger tooth, because the tooth is wider
at the base.

Discussion
• Target design satisfied: flowrate and head
• Safe design
• Net head decrease due to looses
• Volumetric efficiency is not theoretical due to
Slip inside housing
Fittings
Flow area difference
Cont.
Recommendation
• Do not operate the pump with no fluid.
• The pipeline should be supported on both sides of the pump
• If the pump interior becomes severely worn over time (especially
when fluid containing a slurry is used), noise will occur and the
capacity and pressure will decrease.
