Summary: | In order to fully predict the performance of variable displacement vane oil pump (VDVP) during concept design phase, one-dimensional simulation software AMESim is used to model the centralised parameters of VDVP. Several important performance indexes of VDVP are predicted, including the flow, pressure, torque and initial variable point, it is proved by the bench test that the simulation results have a good correlation with the test results. In addition, the effect of leakage on volumetric efficiency is studied, external leakage is smaller than internal leakage, and the higher the temperature, the larger the leakage. The force characteristics of VDVP are studied. Under extreme conditions, the maximum pressure of the internal chamber is about 15.9 bar, and the maximum forces of the stator and rotor are 1920 and 1653 N, respectively. The effect of temperature on the frictional power is studied. Under low-temperature conditions, the viscous frictional power is much greater than the dry frictional power, while the high temperature is the opposite.
