How does a gear pump work?

[@dwerg1]

In the refinery I work in they used a gear pump to pump a slurry of solvent, water and perlite powder (finely crushed volcanic glass). As you can imagine it needed extremely frequent maintenance, the perlite was literally sanding down everything inside the pump. Why they decided to use a gear pump for this slurry in the first place is beyond me, but they finally put in a better suited pump.

[@hydraulicandpneumaticsyste3253]

Yes, the gear pump is not well suited for this industry.

[@biggreenblob]

Wow yeah slurries containing abrasives are a no-no for gear pumps. A much better choice would be a progressing cavity pump.

[@dwerg1]

@@biggreenblob Yup, despite the properties of progressing cavity pumps being well known where I work, they default to using centrifugal pumps for almost everything. Probably because they're way cheaper. The gear pump I talked about was replaced with a centrifugal pump, it doesn't break all the time anymore, but it isn't theoretically ideal.

Thanks. Yes, English is not my first language. My profession is a hydraulic engineer, but I also enjoy doing computer animation. At first I translated the video myself, but it turned out badly for me. Then I turned to a translator and a voiceover, for a small fee they helped me. I do the animation myself, write the text, then the translator makes the translation, then the announcer gives the voiceover. Advertising on KZbin allows me to recoup my costs. The problem is that I cannot assess the quality of translation and sound.

Most hydraulic pumps and oil pumps are gear type pumps.

[@AlexandarHullRichter]

Internal gear pumps are pretty much standard for automotive engine oil distribution. One of the advantages they have (in that application) is that they have no bearings. The inner gear will sit on the front end of the crankshaft, which has its own bearings. The outer gear will free float inside the oil pump housing. The engine oil being moved by the oil pump lubricates everything.

[@hydraulicandpneumaticsyste3253]

Yes. Thank you

[@protoborg]

Nope. Oil is distributed across the gears by immersing one of the gears in the oil directly. It is NOT moved by a pump. It is moved around the parts by capillary action between the gears. In other words, the oil is passed from one gear to the next by the fact that it sticks to the gears. When the gear interfaces with the next gear, the contact causes some of the oil to transfer to the other gear.

[@AlexandarHullRichter]

@@protoborg you might have misread. You're describing the lubrication of a manual transmission. I was talking about the engine, which only has gears in the oil pump and camshaft timing mechanism. Engines are lubricated by pressurized oil from the pump.

[@hydraulicandpneumaticsyste3253]

The animation is correct. It is necessary to correctly understand how the liquid moves in the pump. She moves around the perimeter. Through the place where the teeth of the gears are engaged, the liquid cannot flow, so there is no empty volume. I want to release a short video where this issue will be discussed in more detail.

[@Ciorram1]

I feel like the Voice over guy might be able to do a really convincing Christopher Walken impression.

[@no-expert]

Nice explanation, I always thought they worked the other way around. What I am wondering is: Do the liquids get smashed around and get bubbly and foamy on the output side? Because the moving direction of the gears is exactly opposite to the direction of liquid flow.

[@hydraulicandpneumaticsyste3253]

The fluid does not flow through the engagement, there is no free volume. Fluid flows around the perimeter. At the moment when the teeth disengage, the volume of the working chamber increases, the liquid from the suction line fills the space between the teeth. Then the gear turns and the liquid is locked in the space between the teeth and the housing. Then the teeth engage and the liquid is squeezed out of the volume between the teeth, it flows into the pressure line.

[@MrHaggyy]

depends on the viscosity and RPM of the pump. With the right pump, most liquid is pushed away from the teeth and barely moves back to the input. If the viscosity and rpm of the pump are too high the liquid can`t escape that easily and will get compressed by the gearing. This can cause bubbles and foam as we have different pressures and velocities within the fluid.

[@hydraulicandpneumaticsyste3253]

Gear pumps are efficient and inexpensive and are used in industry. They are used in machine tools, presses, tractors, lifting machines. Perhaps the simulation does not accurately show the fluid flow, since I was pushing the fluid emitter, from which the fluid flows to the pump. In reality, the reason for the movement of the fluid is the pump.

I’m confused on the first model, could someone explain how it works as a pump, to me it looks like it would be pushing water the direction the water is coming. I get that some of the water would get in the gear teeth and be carried around the perimeter of the housing to the other side but I fail to see how that provides any pressure to push the water in that direction

[@plonkster]

I think it works because as the gear teeth separate it creates a void that has to be filled by oil (a vacuum), and as the gear teeth come together the oil in the immediate vicinity is pushed out because the gear teeth takes up the physical space where the oil used to be. The pump is designed so that the inlet is right there where the teeth move apart, and the outlet is right there where the teeth come together, so that becomes the path of least resistance. It is a little bit more obvious on the internal gear model, you'll see the inlet and outlet is placed right where the teeth come together or pull apart.

[@paulg3336]

@@plonkster Correct. It isn't the teeth of the gear that moves the fluid as if it was a solid between rollers, but the expanding and contracting voids that occur between the teeth which act like a piston in a bore to create negative and positive pressure cycles
