External Vs Internal Gear Design
1. A pair of external gear forms the 1. An internal gear & a external gear
rotor. form the rotor of the pump.
3. L/D ratio of the rotor can be 3. The L/D ratio is hardly 1 or even
maintained as high as 3. less.
4. Due to high L/D ratio & due to 4. Due to low L/D ratio & capacity
two gear the capacity transfer per determined by one gear the rotor
unit size is very high hence the size is fairly high for unit capacity,
pump is more compact & efficient. due to this the pump is bulky &
even inefficient for higher models.
7. It is possible to offer external gear 7. The gears are only spur, further a
design pump with spur, helical or wedged is required to separate the
herringbone gear design. two gears.
