Gerotor-type volumetric displacement pumps are suitable for oil or water hydraulics. For this reason, many researchers have studied this topic. Gerotor pumps have been widely used in various fields. In this study, we designed a rotor profile based on an envelope of a family of curves. An analytic method for determining the volumetric displacement of the gerotor pump is verified by comparing a result obtained using CAD technology and an experimental result. Throughout the experiment, the flow rate performance was verified. In addition, we describe the design and volumetric displacement characteristics of the gerotor pump.

The objective of this study was to examine whether a gerotor pump used in a transmission could be converted into an electric vehicle thermal management system pump using a virtual design environment. To achieve this objective, we first built an environment that could analyze the performance of a gerotor pump in heat transfer fluid. Flow rate, pressure, and volumetric efficiency were then analyzed when using heat transfer fluid in a gerotor pump. Finally, how large the displacement volume of the pump should be designed when using a heat transfer fluid other than oil was determined. Based on results of this study, it is expected that gerotor pumps will be applied to new business fields such as electric vehicle cooling systems.

It is hard and complicated to analytically derive the volumetric-displacement formula of a gerotor pump/motor. Analytical formulas for calculating the volumetric-displacement are derived in this work, which is relatively easy and based upon vane lengths. The vane lengths mean the distances from axis of inner rotor or outer rotor to contact points between inner and outer rotors. Two kinds of formula were studied for two different kinematic motions of rotors. The first one is the case that outer rotor is fixed in space and inner rotor is in mixed motion of planetary revolution and rotation with respect to the spinning axis. And the second is the case that both inner and outer rotors simultaneously rotate. The proposed formula is verified through comparison with volumetric-displacement obtained from numerical CAD calculation.

It is difficult to analytically derive a volumetric displacement formula of gerotor hydraulic pump/motor because geometric shape of rotors is complicated. An analytical method about the volumetric displacement is proposed in this work, which is relatively easy and based upon two physical concepts. The first one is energy conservation between hydraulic energy of the pump/motor and mechanical input/output energy. The second concept is torque equilibrium with respect to inner and outer rotors. The formula about the volumetric displacement is derived for the common case of inner and outer rotors rotate with respect to fixed axes. The formula is verified by comparing another analytical displacement formula, and it is numerically verified by comparing numerical results, which is calculated for geometric specification of a motor. The numerical displacement is calculated through CAD software program and MATLAB program. The proposed analytical formula can be utilized in analysis and design of hydraulic gerotor motors.

It is difficult to analytically derive a volumetric displacement formula for a gerotor hydraulic motor due to the complexity of the geometric shape of its gear lobes. This work proposes an analytical method for the volumetric displacement, a relatively easy method based upon two physical concepts: conservation between hydraulic energy and mechanical shaft energy, and torque equilibrium for the rotor's motion. The first research using these concepts was conducted on inner and outer rotors rotating with respect to each rotor axis. This work represents the second report conducted on an inner rotor revolving as a planetary motion on the stationary outer rotor. The formula equations regarding the volumetric displacement and flow rate are derived, and the proposed formula about the volumetric displacement is proven to be the same as another analytical displacement formula: the so-called vane length method. From the formula, volumetric displacement is calculated for an example geometry of the gear lobes. The resultant displacement is confirmed to be the same as the value calculated from the chamber volume method. The proposed analytical formula can be utilized in the analysis and design of gerotor hydraulic motors. Because it is based on torque equilibrium, this formula can provide a better understanding of torque performance, such as torque ripple, in designing a gerotor type motor.

The gerotor type device is mainly used in low-speed, high-torque hydraulic motors, and is also applied as a small priming hydraulic pump. For this reason, many studies have been conducted to increase the efficiency of the gerotor pump. In this paper, we propose a new tooth profile design method different from the existing method. The new tooth design is made by modifying the tooth surface using the amplification function of the trajectories, created along the inner and outer rolling circles around the base circle. The shape of the mate rotor is then created using rotation simulation techniques. Such shapes are described as hypercloid. The designed hypercloid rotor is compared with the existing trochoid rotor, and the characteristics of the parameters and volumetric displacements are analyzed. Through this process, the optimum design with larger volumetric displacement than the existing rotor is achieved.

This paper is to study applying for numerical analysis method for flow field, velocity and pressure of fuel on the low pressure pump using excavator. The pressure distribution of fuel pump certified the linear variation according to rotation angle of rotor. Especially, it knew the fact that the pressure in rotation angle $40^{\circ}$ appeared high outlet and low inlet of fuel pump. Also, this range angle can seek the fact that the leakage flow and velocity are the most increasing. And the more rotor rotation of fuel pump, the more mean outlet flow rate increased in linear. Whenever the gap size decrease with rotor and housing, the discharge flow rate could seek the approaching 0.0712kg/s that consider with theory discharge flow rate calculated from displacement between rotor gear and idle gear.
