Volumetric efficiency in motor-driven two-dimensional piston pumps with leakage and reverse flow under high pressure

This paper presents a volumetric efficiency model for high-pressure motor-driven 2D piston pumps, incorporating key factors such as axial internal and external leakage, circumferential leakage, and reverse flow. The model integrates hydraulic fluid compressibility and variations in flow coefficients to improve simulation accuracy. Co-simulation using AMESim and Simulink, along with experimental validation, demonstrates the model's reliability across various operating conditions. The results show that rotational speed enhances volumetric efficiency due to its minimal effect on leakage and reverse flow, while pressure significantly reduces efficiency, particularly through reverse flow and circumferential leakage. Reducing trapped volume proves to be an effective strategy for minimizing reverse flow and improving overall pump performance. Additionally, refining flow coefficients to improve the accuracy of the simulation model remains an important area for further development.
