POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT PUMP(PDPs) 𝟐𝟐

BASIC DEFINITION: A constant flow rate fluid pumping device

use to displace the fluids(usually viscous & fragile) in the direction
of pressure force.

WORKING PRINCIPLE: It operates in such a way that it takes

certain FIXED amount of the fluids and transfer it to desired place
with the use of cavities (in some type) arranged in a manner that
having increasing area at suction side(inlet) and decreasing at
discharging side(outlet).

• Its construction includes the air pumping cavity run via motor,
connected with cam with the two set of valves*

 If air pumping is done by piston then it is termed as PISTON PUMP.

 if pumping of air is done via plunger then it is known as PLUNGER PUMP
 If air is pumped through diaphragm then it is called as DIAPHRAGM PUMP.

*valves are of such type that it allows flow only in one direction. Named
commonly as check valve or non-return valve.

A pump type wherein fluid is transferred via rotating element,
meshing or squeezing the fluid in some pattern.
 When meshing is of gears it is called GEAR PUMP.
 When meshing is of lobes it is LOBE PUMP.
 When meshing is of screws it is SCREW PUMP.
 When rotating element contains vanes it is called VANE PUMP
 When rotating element contains hose it is PERISTALTIC PUMP
 When rotating element contains increasing cavity it is
PROGRESSIVE CAVITY PUMP.

WHY to chose PDPs 𝟐𝟐

• High viscosity fluids

• Flow is regardless of pressure
• Changing viscosity fluids(varies with pressure)
• High Pressure
• Shear Sensitive Liquids
• Self-Primer
• Low flow
• Pumping Slurries
• No shaft seal
 𝟐𝟎
WHY not to chose PDPs 𝟐𝟐

• Safety or Relief valve is necessary.

• Low viscosity.
• High gpm (gallons per minute).
• High rpm(revolutions per minute).
• Losses occur in form of slip(due to pressure variation).
