VorterantQ Pump - Educational Model

My Educational Mechanical Examples Series This model is one of my educational mechanical mechanism examples on 80mm x 80mm base plates. You can find all models of the series in this collection => [Mechanical Mechanism Examples] The present model This model shows an educational model of a VorterantQ pump. Brief Description The VorterantQ Pump is a positive displacement pump in which four rotors spin in the same direction at the same speed. The sealed cavities trapped between the rotors travel along the rotational axes, transporting fluid. In this model, the rotors and casing are trimmed to the minimum axial length needed to understand the operating principle; a functional pump would require sufficient length to achieve complete sealing. The inlet and outlet required for actual pumping operation are also omitted. Cross-sectional Geometry Let a denote the distance between adjacent rotational axes. Each rotor has a lens-shaped cros
