<p>With a traditional gear pump inlet design it is difficult to fall the pumping chamber when the inlet pressure is low or the operating speed is high A gear pump (100) is provided and includes an inlet port (116) which terminates, in the pumping direction of the rotor set (104) in a radially inwardly extending ramp portion (132). The ramp portion (132) operates to direct working fluid from the inlet (116) radially inwardly into the pumping chamber (126) of the rotor set (104) which is passing over the ramp portion (132). By closing the pumping chamber (126) at a radially inwardly point, the filling efficiency of the pumping chamber (126) is improved, reducing cavitation and/or operating noise of the pump.</p> |
