Working principle and maintenance of gear pumps

A gear pump is a rotary pump that transports liquid or pressurizes it by relying on the variation and movement of the working volume formed between the pump cylinder and the meshing gears.

（1） Working principle of gear pump:

Gear pump is a type of volumetric pump, consisting of two gears, a pump body, and a front and rear cover to form two enclosed spaces. When the gears rotate, the volume of the space on the disengaged side of the gears increases from small to large, forming a vacuum that sucks in liquid. The volume of the space on the meshing side of the gears decreases from large to small, and the liquid is squeezed into the pipeline. The suction chamber and discharge chamber are separated by the meshing line of two gears.
The pressure at the discharge port of a gear pump completely depends on the resistance at the pump outlet.

（2） Gear pump operation and maintenance

1. Gear pump start:

(1) Before starting, check the sealing of all pipeline flanges and joints.
(2) Disc coupling, no friction or collision sound.
(3) The first startup should inject the conveying liquid into the pump.
(4) Before starting, the valves in the suction and discharge pipelines should be fully opened, and it is strictly prohibited to start with the valve closed.
(5) After verifying the direction of motor rotation, start the motor.

2. Gear pump shutdown:

(1) Turn off the motor.
(2) Close the inlet and outlet valves of the pump.

What are the differences bewteen core drilling bits and pdc drilling bits

Although both core drills and PDC drills are tools used for drilling and sampling, there are significant differences between them in terms of material, structure, and scope of application. Core Drill Definition: A core drill is a broad concept that refers to all drills used for coring operations. It can be a variety of types such as tungsten carbide bits, PDC bits, diamond bits and so on. Function: Mainly used to remove a cylindrical section of core sample from different types of materials for subsequent analysis and research. Material: Various materials, including carbide, diamond, PDC, etc. Different materials are selected according to the hardness and toughness of the drilling material. Structure: Relatively simple structure, mainly consists of drill body, inner cylinder and outer cylinder. Application: Wide range of applications, including geological exploration, engineering survey, mineral exploration, etc. PDC Drill Bit Definition: PDC drill bit is a special coring dr...

Does the water well drilling bit have a warranty

Whether or not a water well drill bit has a warranty, and the length of that warranty, depends on several factors: Drill Bit Type: Different types of drill bits vary greatly in their structure, material and manufacturing process, and therefore warranty policies will vary. For example, PDC bits (polycrystalline diamond composite bits) usually have a longer warranty due to their higher technology, whereas some simple tooth wheel bits or diamond bits may not have a defined warranty or may have a shorter warranty. Manufacturer/Supplier: After-sales service policies and reputations vary between manufacturers or suppliers. Some large, reputable manufacturers usually offer a good warranty, while some small, unknown suppliers may not offer a warranty or may have harsh warranty terms. Purchase Contracts/Agreements: When purchasing a drill bit, it is important to read the terms of the purchase contract or agreement carefully, especially the sections on warranty and after-...

How to replace the impeller of a slurry pump

The impeller of the slurry pump is a wearing part, which needs to be inspected and replaced periodically. The process of replacing the impeller is relatively complex and requires certain specialized knowledge and skills. The following are the steps for replacing the impeller of the slurry pump: 1. Preparation Shut down and disconnect the power: Before any operation, be sure to cut off the power supply to ensure safety. Preparation tools: ready wrenches, screwdrivers, gaskets, new impeller and so on. Drain: Empty the pump. Protective measures: Wear protective gloves, safety glasses and other protective equipment. 2. Disassembly Procedure DISASSEMBLY: Disassemble the suction and discharge pipes connected to the pump. Remove pump cover: Loosen the bolts securing the pump cover and carefully remove the cover. Remove the impeller: Loosen the nuts secure the impeller with a suitable tool and remove the impeller. 3. Install the new impeller Insp...
