Pricol Technologies CFD Experts Analyze External Gear Pump to Optimize Performance

Gear pumps are extensively used as lubrication pumps for power transmissions in automotive applications. And is a precision machine with extremely tight-fit and tolerance and is capable of working against high differential pressures.

Coimbatore, India, May 29, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Pricol Technologies Experts performed CFD analysis of an external gear pump used in automotive industry. Areas covered were modeling, dynamic meshing, and transient simulation & performance prediction of an oil pump.

The pivotal portions of the analysis builds on:-
· Virtual Validation as part of Product Design Cycle
· Theoretical Pump Displacement Calculation
· CFD Simulation Methodology
· Pump Performance Prediction

-It was observed from the CFD simulation that leakage is more when pump clearances are more and hence pump efficiency is very less.

-The expert CFD analysis was aimed at being value addition and cost reduction to design & develop gear pump concurrent with CFD simulation.

- The analysis leveraged variations in design parameters through the Dynamic Meshing approach was studied to predict the performance curve.

- The pump volumetric efficiency predicted by CFD was then compared with theoretical calculation.

The team handled challenges like maintaining minimum clearances, transient flow phenomenon, mesh quality, and performance parameters.

In conclusion: The performance of an external gear pump was studied. The findings could be leveraged for value addition and cost reduction concurrent with CFD simulation.
