This is a still representation
and possibly also a low-resolution image of a fully animated pump.
|
|
|
This is a basically a type of Gear Pump but with lobes instead of gears. |
|
The three-lobe gear pump, like the two-lobe
version, is commonly used to force high-pressure air into combustion compartments
of a diesel engine. |
|
The output of these pumps is more pulsed than the output of a gear pump
because there are fewer teeth. The fluid is delivered in comparatively
larger packets. |
|
Gases are compressible (whereas liquids basically are not), therefore the
three lobe and two lobe gear pumps work particularly well with gases, since
the compressibility helps smooth the flow. |
