A vane pump is a PD pump that is used to amplify the flowing fluid’s pressure using the vanes located on rotors.
This pump can flow the fluid from one point to another at high pressure and is commonly used in air conditioners, automobiles, and power steering of vehicles.
How does it work?
Sliding vane pumps use a rotor that draws the liquid behind each vane through the inlet port and pushes it into the pumping chamber. As the rotor turns, the pumping section is squeezed down. The liquid is transferred between the vanes to the outlet where it is discharged. With the pup’s each revolution, it displaces a regular volume of fluid.
The chamber wall is maintained by three forces:
• centrifugal force that comes from the rotating rotor
• push rods in motion between vanes
• liquid pressure inflowing through the grooves of the vane
What are the advantages?
• Sliding vane pump design adjusts automatically to maintain flow rates
• Exceptional at self-priming
• Comprehensive dry-run capability, with no troubles in the monitoring systems
• The pump provides sustained performance and trouble-free operation
• Easy maintenance
• High suction lift abilities, line-stripping capabilities and piping of fluid
• Low life-cycle and maintenance costs
• Pumps can be renewed and repaired, without removing the pump from the piping system
• Solids handling, slow internal rates and large displacement
• There is no costly heating systems
• Sliding vane pumps need not as much of horsepower like other pumps, hence highly efficient
Finding the right vane pump is essential to facilitate smooth operations. Contact a licensed manufacturer and understand how it can help in your factory operations. With proper guidance and knowledge, it will become easier for you as well to choose an apt model.
