When conventional centrifugal pumps fail to meet the requirements for handling viscous fluids, gear pumps step in as efficient solutions. These pumps leverage the interlocking action of gears to propel the fluid through the system. Known for their simplicity and reliability, gear pumps are particularly useful in applications involving oils and certain chemicals. Their ability to handle materials with particulates and their straightforward operation make them a practical choice. However, users should be cautious of the potential heat buildup during the pumping of highly viscous liquids, necessitating careful management of the pump's operational parameters to prevent overheating.
