Experiments With A Gear Pump

About Experiments With A Gear Pump

• Gear pumps belong to the group of positive displacement pumps with a continuous flow.
• Two counter-rotating gears transport the medium.
• The transported medium is between the housing and the tooth spaces.
• The pulsation-free flow increases linearly with speed.
• These pumps are particularly suitable for the generation of medium-high pressure at low flow rates.
• The experimental unit provides the basic experiments to get to know the operating behaviour and the most important characteristic variables of gear pumps features a closed circuit with a tank and a gear pump with variable speed via frequency converter.
• The pump gears are mounted in a transparent housing and can be observed during operation.
• Flow rate and head are adjusted via a needle valve and an overflow valve.
• Oil is used as the medium.
• The experimental unit is fitted with sensors for pressure and temperature.
• The oval wheel meter is especially used for the accurate flow measurement of viscous liquids.
• Oval wheel meters operate on the positive displacement principle with two precise oval gear wheels.
• The microprocessor-based measuring technique is well protected in the housing.
• All the advantages of software-supported experiments and evaluation are offered by the software and the microprocessor.
• The connection to a PC is made by USB.
• The well-structured instructional material sets out the fundamentals and provides a step-by-step guide through the experiments.
