A geared fuel pump () operates to supply a determined flow but at low or zero pressure rise. It is planned to add gland packing () between support bearings () of the pinions (), or between some of them, to provide hydrodynamic lift for these bearings, by delimiting a closed cavity () to provide lift by a fluid with better viscosity properties instead of using the fluid itself that is pumped. Possible application to fuel pumps for aircraft engines, in which the pump () is a high pressure pump associated with a low pressure pump. 115-.

Gear fuel pump (′) comprising a housing () , two pinions ( , ) meshing with each other in a chamber of the housing , two first bearings ( , ) each supporting one of two first stubshafts ( , ) of the pinions , two second bearings ( , ) each supporting one of two second stubshafts ( , ) of the pinions , the first bearings and the second bearings being housed in the chamber in the case , the first stubshafts turning in the first bearings ( , ) with first gaps () and the second stubshafts turning in the second bearings ( , ) with second gaps () , the first and the second gaps containing fluid hydrodynamic lift layers , characterised in that it comprises gland packing () between the second bearings ( , ) and the gearwheels ( , ) , said packing isolating closed cavities () surrounding the second gaps () and delimited by the case () , the second bearings ( , ) and the pinions ( , ) , the closed cavities containing a fluid different from a fluid , that is a fuel , pumped by the pinions.17. Gear pump according to claim 16 , characterised in that the viscosity properties of the fluid in the closed cavities are different from the properties of the fuel.1847. Gear pump according to claim 16 , characterised in that the fluid in the closed cavities () is rheo-thickening19243024. Gear pump according to claim 16 , characterised in that either the first bearings or the second ...
