    Gear Pumps

    Uploaded by

    MARIO HUAMAN
    A gear pump consists of two meshing gears that rotate in opposite directions to pump fluid by trapping it between their teeth and the casing. As the gears rotate, their engagement and disengagement moves the fluid from the pump's inlet to its outlet. Gear pumps are positive displacement pumps often used to pump viscous liquids like fuels, oils and chemicals. They require little maintenance aside from checking clearances and replacing bearings or seals. A relief valve is installed to protect the pump and pipes from overpressure by releasing fluid if the discharge is blocked.

    GEAR PUMP

    Mohammud Hanif Dewan, Lecturer,


    Malaysian Maritime Academy, Malaysia.
    Introduction
    Learning Objective:
    - Operation and maintenance of a Gear Pump.
    Specific Learning Objective:
    - Describe the pump and the types of pumps.
    - State of rotary pumps and gear pumps.
    - Explain the operation principle of gear pumps.
    - Discuss the maintenance of gear pumps and
    related safeties.
    - Review of uses of gear pumps.
    What is a pump?

    Pumps are used to move any substance which


    flows or which can be made to flow.

    As a general rule, all pumps are designed to


    move fluid substances from one point to another
    by pulling, pushing or throwing or by some
    combination of these three methods.

    A pump is a device that adds energy to the fluid


    to enable it to move from one point to another.
    Types of Pumps
    Positive Displacement Pump
    Reciprocating pumps
    Rotary pumps

    Dynamic Pressure Pumps


    Centrifugal pump
    PUMPS
    POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT PUMPS CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS

    RECIPROCATING PUMPS ROTARY PUMPS

    PISTON PUMPS GEAR PUMPS

    PLUNGER PUMPS LOBE PUMPS

    DIAPHRAGM PUMPS SCREW PUMPS

    CAM PUMPS

    VANE PUMPS
    ROTARY PUMPS
    Positive displacement type

    CHigh pressure, high efficiency


    DLiquids must be free of solids
    CHandle viscous fluids
    ROTARY PUMPS GEAR PUMPS
    A simple gear pump consists
    GEAR PUMPS of two spur gears meshing
    together and revolving in
    LOBE PUMPS
    opposite directions within a
    SCREW PUMPS casing.
    CAM PUMPS
    Only a few thousandths of an
    inch clearance exists between
    VANE PUMPS the case and the gear faces
    and teeth extremities .
    How a Gear Pump Works

    Fig: 1 (Suction) Fig: 2 (Liquid Displacing) Fig: 3 (Discharge)

    Fig: 1 (Suction)
    As the gears rotate in opposite direction, the teeth disengage. So, the space
    again opens on the suction side, trapping new quantities of liquid and carrying it
    around the pump case to the discharge.

    Fig: 2 (Liquid Displacing)


    As the teeth come out of mesh, liquid flows into the pump and is carried between
    the teeth and the casing to the discharge side of the pump

    Fig: 3 (Discharge)
    As the gears come back into mesh, the volume is reduced and the liquid is forced
    out of the discharge port
    Types of Gear Pumps
    There are three types of gears used in gear pumps:

    1. Spur Gear
    - A Spur gear is consist of straight gears which are parallel to the
    shaft.

    2. Helical Gear.
    - A helix is the curve produced when a
    straight line moves up or down the surface of a cylinder.

    3. Herringbone gear.
    - A herringbone gear is composed of two helixes spiraling in different
    directions from the center of the gear.
    Parts of a Gear Pump
    Maintenance of Gear Pumps
    Comparing with other pumps, a gear pump need very less
    maintenance. Few maintenances are as follows:

    1. Checking of back-lash clearances:


    - If the back lash clearances become more than the limit, then
    need to change the gears. (Limit value is mentioned in
    Makers manual)

    2. Changing of bearings:
    according to makers instruction/PMS or if found damaged, the
    bearings need to change.

    3. Gland packings/ mechanical Seal:


    - Need to change if oil or liquid leaks from the pump gland.
    Safeties in Gear Pumps
    As a positive displacement
    pump, a relief valve is always
    fitted with the gear pump in
    order to protect from damage
    of pump casing or pipeline
    fittings due to accidental
    closure of pump discharge
    valve or any blockage in
    discharge pipelines.
    Uses of Gear Pumps
    As the pump doesnt need any valve for pumping
    operation, so the gear pump is very effective to pump the
    heavy viscus liquids:
    Gear pumps are often used for pumping and
    transferring:
    - All kind of fuel oils,
    - Lub oils
    - Gear oils
    - Crude oil
    - Vegetable oils
    - Liquid Chemicals
    Conclusion
    - Can you remember how a
    gear pump works?
    - Can you remember the safety
    device used in a Gear Pump?
    - Can you tell me about
    maintenance of Gear
    Pumps?
    Let us do group discussion.
    Any Question?
