What Is an Oil Transfer Pump?
An oil transfer pump is a pump used to transfer fluids such as lubricating oil and coolant within engines or machinery.
It plays a crucial role in ensuring proper lubrication and cooling of engine and machinery components. Typically installed within internal combustion engines or machinery, it pumps out oil and other fluids from the engine and transfers them to necessary locations. This allows lubricating oil to reduce friction on engine and machinery components and coolant to remove heat to prevent overheating of machinery.
There are different types of oil transfer pumps, including gear pumps, which operate by two gears meshing together to draw in fluid and apply pressure to discharge it, and rotary pumps, where a rotor rotates within a housing, causing changes in volume to suction and discharge fluid.
