Vane pumps can be used in many different positive displacement pump applications. They can handle thin and low viscosity liquids such as water and gasoline. They are not suitable for highly viscous fluids because the higher viscosity prevents the blades from moving freely in the groove.
Because they can handle multiple viscosities, vane pumps are usually widely used in gas stations, fuel transportation vehicles, solvents, alcohol, and even soft drinks and syrups.
There are many different configurations of vane pumps and can also handle fluids with a wide range of temperature and pressure. Since vane pumps are usually used to pump clean hydrocarbons including gasoline and light oil, vane pumps are usually made of ductile iron casing and metal rotors. The blade is usually made of carbon, which has good lubricity to keep the blade sliding in the groove and close to the inner surface of the shell.
The type of fluid handled plays a big role in the suitability of this pump for a particular application. High viscosity or thicker fluids will obviously greatly reduce the speed of the pump, so vane pumps may not be the best choice. In some cases, vane pumps are a good alternative to gear pumps and can pump oil with relatively low viscosity.
Vane pumps usually work in the following ranges:
Flow range between 20 and 9500 lpm
The total head (pressure) ranges from 1 to 14 Bar
Horsepower between 1 and 300 hp
