    Study Notes

    Rotary Pump Features and Usage

    • Rotary pumps push out liquid as the main part rotates and are suitable for high-speed operation.
    • Rotary pumps are commonly used for transferring oil and other viscous liquids, as well as in hydraulic systems.
    • To start a displacement type rotary pump, it is necessary to keep the bypass line open by opening both the inlet and outlet valves.
    • Discharge amounts in rotary pumps are adjusted by customarily adjusting the flow rate of the bypass line.
    • Gear pumps use two gears of identical shape that rotate in an enclosed casing to carry liquid from the suction side to the discharge side.
    • Gear pumps have variations like external gear pumps, internal gear pumps, and trochoid pumps.
    • Liquid leakage through the gap between the gears and the casing in gear pumps must be properly managed.
    • Screw pumps are designed to push out liquid by the movement of screw rotors housed in the casing.
    • Screw pumps generate minimal noise and vibration due to continuous and pulsation-free liquid discharge.
    • Vane pumps, like balanced vane pumps, have a cylindrical rotor with grooves for plate-like vanes that rotate while being pushed against the cam ring inner surface.
    • Bearing and mechanical seal problems account for approximately 40% of pump trouble cases for various uses.
    • Pump ball bearings have a limited service life and should be replaced after a prescribed period, especially if there is an increase in pump shaft thrust, degradation of lubricant, or increase in pump shaft vibrations.
