Description
Summary:Taguchi method has been used to analyse the influence of the coefficient of the trochoid radius, the number of revolutions and the working pressure on the change in the flow rate and the volumetric efficiency of the trochoidal rotary pump with internal gearing. The coefficient of the trochoid radius, as a geometrical parameter and the number of revolutions and the pressure, as working parameters are considered influential factors in this paper. Taguchi robust design and orthogonal matrices have been applied to design the experiment and to determine the degree of the factors influence, as well as their optimum values. The highest values both for the flow rate and the volumetric efficiency have been obtained for the coefficient of the trochoid radius of 1.375, the number of revolutions of 2000 min−1 and for the working pressure of 1 bar. The conformation of the experiment shows that Taguchi method can be successfully used for selection of the optimal combination of parameters so that the maximum volumetric efficiency of the trochoid pump can be achieved.
