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...

Where does the fluid go after leaving the mud pump

After leaving the Mud Pump , the fluid will follows a specific circulation path in the drilling system. The drilling mud serves multiple purposes, including cooling and lubricating the drill bit, carrying cuttings to the surface, and maintaining wellbore stability. 1. High-pressure discharge line: The pressurized drilling mud exits the mud pump through a high-pressure discharge line. This line is typically connected to the top of the pump and transports the mud to the next component in the circulation system. 2. Standpipe: The high-pressure discharge line is connected to a vertical pipe called the standpipe. The standpipe provides a conduit for the drilling mud to flow from the pump to the top of the Drilling Rig . 3. Rotary hose: At the top of the standpipe, the drilling mud enters a flexible high-pressure hose known as the rotary hose. The rotary hoseis connected to the swivel, which allows the drilling mud to be transferred to the drill string. 4. Drill string: The...
