3-Sucti on port (from res ervoi r)The pump i s a vari abl e dis placement, vane t ype pump which s uppl ies t he required hydraulic pres sure t o the st eeri ng gearvalve unit . The pump is locat ed at t he front of t he engine and i s dri ven by the Front Engine Auxil iary Dri ve (FEAD) Poly Veebelt which i s direct ly driven from the cranks haft . The out put from t he pump i ncreas es proporti onall y wi th the l oad appl iedt o the st eeri ng val ve uni t. A s el f-adjus ti ng tens ioner is fit t ed to maint ai n t he correct t ens ion on the bel t.
The pump consi st s of a cart ridge s et which cons is t s of 11 vanes and a rot or. These are mount ed on t he input s haft and ares urrounded by a variable di spl acement cam ring. The vanes rotat e wit hin the cam ri ng and are driven by t he s haft. As thevanes rotat e, the cam ri ng caus es the space between t he vanes to increase. This causes a depres si on between t he vanesand fl uid i s drawn from t he res ervoir vi a t he suct ion hos e int o t he s pace between the vanes. As t he s haft rotat es , t he inl etport i s clos ed to the vanes which have drawn in fluid, t rapping t he fluid bet ween t he vanes . The cam ring caus es t he s pacebetween t he vanes to reduce and cons equenti ally compress es and pres s uri zes t he hydrauli c fl ui d t rapped between t hem.Furt her rotat ion of t he s haft moves the vanes t o the out let port . As t he vanes pas s t he port plat e, the pres s uri zed fl ui dpass es from the pump out let port into the press ure hose to the s t eering gear.
The cam ring can move wi thi n t he val ve body. By moving the cam ri ng it i s poss ibl e to vary t he eccentricit y of t he s haftand t he vanes i n rel ati on to the cam ri ng. As t he eccent rici ty i s decreased, t he volume of hydraulic flui d t rapped bet weent he vanes decreases , mai nt aining a cons t ant flui d output. This reduces t he power and torque required to turn t he pumpand t herefore improves engine economy. The pump has an int ernal regulati ng valve which controls t he eccentricit y of t hecam ring and t herefore vari es the flow rat e accordi ng to demand.
At low engi ne s peeds , the i nternal dis placement of the vari able di spl acement pump i s at it s maximum t o generate thecont rol led fluid out put. As t he pump s peed increas es wit h engine s peed, t he i ncreas ed flow ins ide t he pump generates aback press ure wit hin the pump. This back pres s ure causes an internal regul ati ng val ve to move t he the cam ri ng andreduce t he int ernal di spl acement of the pump to maint ian t he cons t ant flui d fl ow from the pump.
