360 ° degree view of the pump
There are many things to consider when designing gear pumps. Even though the pumps usually have only two moving parts, namely the gears, it is important to keep an eye not only on the pump as individual components in the process, but also on the complete pump environment.
It is not uncommon for upstream or downstream units to have a negative impact on pump performance. The input of additional heat, pressure losses or vibrations are just a few examples that can impair performance.
