Twin Screw Pump

A twin screw water pump is proposed as a solution for the challenge, offering multiple benefits such as running dry, handling entrained air, high efficiency, and ability to operate at very high pressures. The flow rate and pressure can be easily adjusted by changing the screw pitch. It is suitable for pumping various fluids with different viscosities and can work in any temperature or altitude conditions. A KOVPT 57mm 24 Volt DC Brushless 3000RPM low noise and high torque motor is used, which is easy to replace if needed. The pump's assembly is stable and rigid, with oil seals ensuring no ingress into the drivetrain cavity. High-grade aluminium and titanium are used for materials, contributing to strength and better weight values. However, it may be more expensive initially and slightly difficult to manufacture. Additive manufacturing technology like metal 3D printing can assist in easier part production. The pump's overall dimensions allow for easy mounting in various locations, such as aircraft fuselages or wings.
