The design of gear pumps and motors is focused on more efficient units which are possible to achieve using advanced numerical simulation techniques. The flow that appears inside the gear pump is very complex, despite the simple design of the pump itself. The identification of fluid flow phenomena in areas inside the pump, considering the entire range of operating parameters, is a major challenge. This paper presents the results of simulation studies of leakages in axial and radial gaps in an external gear pump carried out for different gap shapes and sizes, as well as various operating parameters. To investigate the processes that affect pump efficiency and visualize the fluid flow phenomena during the pump’s operation, a CFD model was built. It allows for a detailed analysis of the impact of the gears’ eccentricity on leakages and pressure build-up on the circumference. Performed simulations made it possible to indicate the relationship between leakages resulting from the axial and radial gap, which has not been presented so far. To verify the CFD model, experimental investigations on the volumetric efficiency of the external gear pump were carried out. Good convergence of results was obtained; therefore, the presented CFD model is a universal tool in the study of flow inside external gear pumps.

In this paper, the theoretical flow ripple of an external gear pump is studied for pumps of similar size using different numbers of teeth on the driving and driven gears. External gear pumps with three different types of tooth profiles are studied. Nondimensional flowrates and fluctuation coefficients of gear pumps are discussed. By using the formula, flowrates can be calculated accurately and efficiently. Results indicate that: in the case of the same displacement (except teeth number and tooth width, other parameters of the gear pump are the same) the gear pump flow pulsation decreases with the increasing of the teeth number. We also concluded that changing tooth profiles on the driving and driven gear can get different pulse amplitude of the flow ripple.

External Gear Pump

This paper presents an innovative numerical procedure to determine the optimal balancing area of lateral bushes in external gear pumps or motors. In pressure compensated designs of external gear machines, the lateral bushes perform the important functions of sealing the tooth space volumes while they transfer fluid from the inlet to the outlet port. In normal operating conditions, a lubricating gap exists between the lateral bush and the gear permitting to minimize losses due to shear stress and leakage. These conditions are found by determining proper balancing areas at the side of the bushes not facing the gears, in which the pressure of the high pressure port is properly established. This problem is also known as “axial balance” of external gear machines. To determine the optimal axial balance which minimizes the power losses associated with the lubricating gap in all operating conditions, all the static and hydrodynamic forces acting on the lateral bushes have to be considered. This delicate aspect of external gear units design is usually addressed through empirical procedures; while in this paper an automatic numerical procedure is presented. The proposed method is based on the solution of the force balance of the lateral bushes, taking into account all force components, including the hydrodynamic terms due to the relative inclination between bushes and gears and material deformation. After detailing the procedure, the paper describes its potentials by showing the advantages arising from the optimization of the axial balance of a particular external gear pump for fluid power applications.

The purpose of the research was to analyze the load characteristics of external gear pumps. As the initial data, the results of factory tests of the NMSH and SH pumps, provided by HMS Livgidromash JSC, were used. The load characteristics of the gear pump NMSH32-10 were constructed, and the dependence of this pump efficiency on the dimensionless pressure and Hersey number was given. The efficiency of the SH 40-4 pump was recalculated according to the test data. Findings of research show that for diesel fuel and oil, the calculated efficiency differs from the values indicated in the technical data sheet by more than 25%, while for fuel oil they differ slightly. This testifies to the non-monotonic dependence between the SH 40-4 pump efficiency and the viscosity. In the entire investigated range of pressures, with an increase in the viscosity of the pumped liquid, the efficiency first increases and then noticeably decreases. The paper presents the dependence of the volumetric and mechanical efficiency of the SH 40-4 pump on the Hersey number at three values of the viscosity of the pumped liquid.

Ripple Control

In this paper, the theory of flow and method of ripple control of the external gear pump group are studied with two same-parameter external gear pumps which are installed in the form of parallel and different phase. In this thesis, the external gear pump group is known as a low ripple gear pump group, and the theory of ripple control is based on the theory that two periodic and quadratic function curves of different phase superposition can reduce the amplitude variation. According to this method, the thesis starts to analyze the instantaneous flow of the low ripple gear pump group, moreover which are compared with the instantaneous flow of a single gear pump. Finally, it is concluded that the flow pulsation rate of low ripple pump group is equal to 1/4 times of a single pump flow pulsation.

Degradation State

As a kind of hydraulic power component, the external gear pump determines the performance of the entire hydraulic system. The degradation state of gear pumps can be monitored by sensors. Based on the accelerated life test (ALT), this paper proposes a method to identify the wear degradation state of external gear pumps based on flow field analysis. Firstly, the external gear pump is theoretically analyzed. Secondly, dynamic grid technology is used to simulate the internal flow field of the gear pump in detail. Finally, the theoretical and simulation results are verified by the ALT. The results show that this method can effectively identify the wear degradation status of four sample pumps. The results of the work not only provide a solution to the research on the wear degradation of external gear pumps, but also provide strong technical support for the predictive maintenance of hydraulic pumps.

Abstract Currently, most performance curves of gear pumps present volumetric efficiency as a function of one or more operating conditions. However, the nature of gear pumps is that volumetric efficiency is dependent on pump speed, pump pressure rise, and fluid viscosity. This dependency on multiple parameters impedes direct comparisons between pumps tested at disparate operating conditions or on different testbeds. A new method has been developed that formulates the volumetric efficiency as a function of a single parameter that captures pump speed, pressure, and fluid viscosity. The characteristics of the pump is then captured by curve fitting two constants to empirical data. This method allows extrapolation of pump performance beyond empirical data and direct comparison of the volumetric efficiency curves of two pumps tested under disparate conditions within a single plot. This work describes the analytical derivation of the methodology and the empirical data used for validations. Additionally, several possible applications of this method are presented.
