The rotor is the central rotating element of the carbon vane pump, typically made from durable materials such as stainless steel or cast iron. The rotor features precision-machined grooves or slots that accommodate the carbon vanes.

Carbon vanes are the primary components responsible for fluid transfer within the pump. These vanes are typically made from high-quality carbon graphite materials, which offer excellent wear resistance, self-lubricating properties, and compatibility with a wide range of fluids.

The housing of a carbon vane pump encloses the rotor and vanes, creating a sealed chamber for fluid transfer. The housing is designed to withstand high pressures and temperatures, ensuring the integrity of the pumping process.

Inlet and Outlet Ports: Inlet and outlet ports allow for the entry and exit of fluids into and out of the pump. These ports may be configured to accommodate various piping systems and fluid transfer requirements.

The operation of a carbon vane pump relies on the principle of positive displacement, wherein fluid is transferred by trapping and displacing it between the rotating vanes and the pump housing. The pumping action begins when the rotor rotates, creating a partial vacuum within the pump chamber. As the rotor turns, the carbon vanes slide in and out of the rotor slots, trapping fluid between the vanes and the housing. The fluid is then displaced from the inlet port to the outlet port as the vanes continue to rotate, generating a continuous flow of fluid through the pump.
