Internal External Gear Pump By Andrew McKinney
External Gear Pump Internal Gear Pump Objective: Compare the two pumps
External Gear Pump • Been around since the beginning oil pump industry • Used for high pressure applications (pulse free fluid flow) • Smaller - operate at 1 750 rpm or 3 450 rpm • Larger operate 640 rpm • Can handle viscous and water type liquids well • Thick liquids speed must be properly set (small meshing time) • True involute gear form (contour gear curved)
Internal Gear Pump • Crescent pump • Less than 100 years old • Generally run at 1 150 rpm • Smaller ones run at 3 450 rpm (same as external) • Fairly long meshing time (allowing higher speeds with thicker fluids than external) • Not true involute gear form • $$$
Materials • Metals of various types and hardness through to plastics of various types and hardness • Metal allow for high temperatures and aggressive products
Stack Up • Internal pump, more modern pump • Both have a pulse free fluid flow • External pump, cheaper • External pump has to run slower with thicker fluids • External involute form allows for less wear and tear • Internal pump handles abrasive and viscous fluids a lot better References • http://www.pumpschool.com/principles/external.htm • http://www.appliedpumps.co.uk/Gear%20Pump%20Overview.htm • http://www.bin95.com/ebooks/pump_types_ebook.htm • http://www.pumpschool.com/intro/selection.htm
