Operating principle

ギヤポンプの作動原理
1. The upper and lower gears (Figures A and B) rotate in the direction of the arrows.
2. The cogs engage at the center, generate negative pressure when they open and suck in liquid.
3. Liquid goes around the outside of the gears and is squeezed out when the cogs engage.
4. The opening of the outer circumference of the gears is called Top Clearance, and openings on both sides of the gears are called Side Clearance; the gears rotate in these extremely small openings.
5. The direction of the flow of liquid is from S to D in the figures.

Characteristics

1. Difference from centrifugal pumps
■ Gear pumps ■ ■ Centrifugal pumps ■
Gear pumps Centrifugal pump
Compared with the centrifugal pump, the gear pump has less fluctuation of capacity as the pressure rises and has quantitative capability.
It is easy to control the capacity by changing the rotation speed.
Therefore, it is possible to control the flow rate by attaching an inverter or speed variator.
Also, since it is possible to respond to changes of viscosity of the pumped liquid and to change the rotation speed, a single pump can handle from low to high viscosities.

2. Change of capacity due to change of viscosity
Change of capacity due to change of viscosity
When the viscosity of the pumped liquid is changed with the same gear pump, the amount that leaks from the internal openings (each clearance) to the suction side differs depending on the viscosity. The tendency is as shown in the figure above.
The higher the viscosity of the liquid, the smaller the amount of internal leakage due to rising pressure, and the smaller the difference between the flow rate determined by multiplying the capacity per rotation by the rotation speed (theoretical amount) and the actual amount.
The rate is obtained by dividing the actual capacity by the theoretical amount (volume efficiency %).

3. Output and pump efficiency (how to read the inspection results)
Output (motor output power) PW is determined by dividing water power W by pump efficiency ηP.
 Output (motor output power) PW
Water power W represents the actual work load in transporting liquid with kW.
Water powerW
Pump efficiency changes depending on the structure of the pump, viscosity of the pumped liquid, rotation speed, etc.
See the test report as an example.

Features

1. Suction Capacity (Max. -9.5 m)
With its high self-priming capability, this unit is ideal for suction of fluid from an underground tank, suction from a vacuum tank, etc.
Suction Capacity (Max. -9.5 m)
2. Suction Pressure (Max. 5.0 MPa)
Even if there is back pressure on the suction side, a seal-less gear pump or a double shaft seal pump will be able to handle it.

3. Discharge Pressure (Max. 10.0 MPa)
Pumps that can withstand high pressure can be manufactured.
These feature little change of capacity for changes of discharge pressure.
Products approved for high-pressure gas can also be manufactured. Contact us for details.

4. Sending liquid viscosity (0.3 mPa・s to 1 million mPa・s)
Any liquid can be pumped, from low viscosity to very high viscosity.
Liquid can be pumped if the relationship between the rotation speed of the pump and the piping for viscosity is appropriate.
For viscosity exceeding the above values, please consult us.

5. Capacity (Minute amount of 20 cc/min to large-capacity 5000 L/min)
A wide variety of gear pumps from small to large can be manufactured.
The capacity of a gear pump fluctuates in proportion to the rotation speed.
By leveraging the quantitative capability, it can be used as a quantitative pump.
Also, the capacity can be made variable with a speed variator, inverter drive, etc.

6. Low to high temperatures can be handled (-50 °C to +350 °C)
Thermal oil, polymer, pitch, etc. Maximum temperature: 350 °C
Brine, ammonia, engine oil, Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF), etc. Minimum temperature: -50 °C
Various temperature situations can be handled.

7. Wide range of materials can be combined
Pump materials (FC, FCD, SC, SUS, ALBC, hastelloy, etc.)
(Acid, alkali, solvent, etc. can be handled)
For the case, cover, gear, shaft, side plate, metal, or shaft seal, various materials can be combined.
