Leakage and Volumetric Efficiency Analysis and Seal Improvement of Internal Gear Pump with Multi Output

Based on the analysis of the structural characteristics of the internal meshing gear pump with multi-output, the main leakage ways in the gear pump are summarized. By establishing the mathematical formula of leakage, the general formula of the total leakage of the gear pump under three working modes is obtained, and the volume efficiency of the pump is calculated. It is concluded that the volume efficiency of the internal meshing gear pump with multi output is the highest when the internal pump is used alone, and the volume efficiency of the external pump alone is the lowest. The structure of internal gear pump with multi output is improved to reduce the leakage and is verified via experiments. The experimental results show that the volumetric efficiency of the pump is consistent with the analysis results, that is, the volume efficiency decreases with the increasing of load pressure of pump.
