VariableDisplacementPump-Leakage

Description

This model describes a pump with internal and external leakage and a displacement that is proportional to the speed of the input axis:

 

i = D * c / (2*pi);

pa.phi = pb.phi = i * p_rot.omega;

 

The actual flows at the inlet and outlet port may be slightly different because of the flow into the lumped volumes and the leakage flows. The leakage flows are modeled by laminar resistances. The torque of the pump is equal to:

 

p.T = i*(pa.p - pb.p);

 

The displacement is controllable by the input signal c. For a positive rotation of the driving axis the flow is:

 

c >= 1

c = 0

c <= -1

maximum flow from port 1 to port 2

zero flow

maximum flow from port 2 to port 1

 

If the port pressure is smaller than the vapour pressure (p < p_vapour), the flow is zero. If the port pressure becomes larger than the vapour pressure the flow gradually grows to its normal value, until the atmospheric pressure (p = 0) is reached.
