KCB/2CY Gear Oil Pump for Lubricating and Fuel Oil Transfer

KCB/2CY Gear Oil Pump for Lubricating and Fuel Oil Transfer

KCB/2CY Gear Oil Pump | Positive-displacement oil transfer

  • Positive displacement: Stable flow for viscous oils.
  • Self-priming: Simplified suction setup.
  • Self-lubricated: Lubricated by the pumped liquid.
  • Packaged drive: Motor-coupled on common base.

Product Overview

The KCB Gear Oil Pump is specifically designed for transporting lubricating oils with a medium temperature not exceeding 70°C. For high-temperature applications, the pump can be configured with high-temperature materials, typically capable of handling up to 200°C, with options for higher service temperatures. This pump is suitable for liquids with a kinematic viscosity ranging from 5×10⁻⁵ to 1.5×10⁻³ m²/s.
Not suitable for corrosive liquids, liquids containing hard particles or fibers, highly volatile liquids, or low flashpoint liquids (such as gasoline or benzene).

Model Designation

KCB2CY Gear Oil Pump type

Key Features

  • Temperature Capability: Suitable for liquids with temperatures up to 70°C; high-temperature configurations available for up to 200°C.

  • Viscosity Range: Suitable for liquids with kinematic viscosity from 5×10⁻⁵ to 1.5×10⁻³ m²/s.

  • Self-Lubricating: The pumped liquid provides self-lubrication, reducing the need for additional lubrication.

  • Flexible Coupling: Helps compensate for slight misalignment and dampens hydraulic shocks, improving operational stability.

Engineering Summary

The KCB Gear Oil Pump utilizes a dual gear design (with one driving gear), forming a sealed working chamber. As the gears expand on the suction side, a vacuum is created to draw in the liquid. The liquid fills the gear teeth and is transported to the discharge side. When the gears mesh, the liquid is expelled, creating discharge pressure and providing continuous flow. The pump’s compact design makes it easy to install and maintain.

Operating Manual

Installation

  1. Before installation, check whether the pump has been damaged during transportation, ensuring the motor is not damp and that the dust covers on the pump inlet and outlet are intact.

  2. Before installing the pipeline, clean the inner walls of the pipe using water or steam to remove any dirt or impurities. Ensure the pump does not bear the weight of the pipeline to avoid affecting the pump’s precision.

  3. The pipeline connections must be sealed to ensure the pump can properly draw liquid, preventing suction issues.

  4. To prevent debris from entering the pump, install a metal filter at the suction inlet.

Operation & Running

  1. Check that all fasteners are securely tightened.

  2. Ensure the drive shaft rotates smoothly.

  3. Confirm that the intake and outlet valves are fully open.

  4. Verify the correct rotation direction of the pump (viewing from the pump end towards the motor, it should rotate counterclockwise).

Precautions

  1. Monitor the pressure and vacuum gauge readings to ensure they remain within the specified range.

  2. Check the stuffing box. If leakage occurs, tighten the stuffing box cover (but avoid over-tightening to prevent overheating and rapid wear of the sealing ring).

  3. If abnormal noise or excessive temperature rise occurs during operation, immediately stop the pump and investigate the cause.

  4. Do not adjust the safety valve arbitrarily. If adjustment is needed, use instruments to calibrate the safety valve to the appropriate pressure setting.

Stopping the Pump

  1. Turn off the power supply.

  2. Close the intake and outlet valves.
