Vickers Vane Pump Evaluation Of Vane Pump Applications
How does the vane pump work?
The vane pump uses a rotating cylinder with a trough (or rotor) that houses a series of vanes that rotate within the chamber. The rotor is offset in the casing bore so that when rotated, the blades slide in and out. This creates a volume of expansion and contraction that allows the liquid to pass through the pump.
A. What makes the vane pump great?
The Vickers Vane Pump states that the vane pump can handle medium viscosity fluids, but is best suited for low viscosity applications such as gases (propane), ammonia, solvents, fuel oil, alcohol, etc. These pumps have no internal metal-to-metal contact and self-compensating wear, allowing them to maintain optimum performance of these non-lubricating fluids.
B. Benefits
The sliding contact of the blades makes the pump ideal for thin liquids
Compensation for wear through blade extension
Can be dried in a short time
Good vacuum properties
C. Disadvantages
Not suitable for high pressure or high viscosity applications
Not suitable for abrasive applications
Is the vane pump suitable for your application? If it is suitable for low viscosity applications, then it is very likely. By talking to experienced engineers, always make sure you find the right pump for your job.
