Vane Pump

Vane pumps are used in a wide variety of applications. Vane pumps are ideally suited for low-viscosity, non-lubricating liquids because of vane strength and the absence of metal-to-metal contact. Such liquids include LPG, ammonia, solvents, alcohol, fuel oils, gasoline, and refrigerants.

Types of Vane Pump:

• External Vane Pump : It can handle large solids.
  
  
• Flexible Vane Pump : It can handle small solids but create good vacuum.
  
  
• Sliding Vane Pump : It can run dry for short periods of time and handle small amounts of vapor etc.
  
  

Uses of Vane Pump:

• Vane pumps are noted for their reliability, easy maintenance, dry priming and good suction characteristics.
  
  
• Vane pumps can usually handle fluid temperatures ranging from -32°C to 260°C and pressures to 30 bar / 400 psi.
  
  
• Medium capacity.
  
  
• Medium speed.



• Thin liquids.



• It is sometimes preferred for solvents, LPG.
  
  
• The pump can run dry for short periods.
  
  
• The pump develops good vacuum.
