Design and development of a peristaltic pump for constant flow applications

In wide-ranging areas, including hydraulics, biomedical, automotive, and aerospace, there is often a need to move fluid with constant flow rate. This difficult achieve any type of pump usually other elements are inserted regularize the output. study focused on peristaltic because few studies it has some interesting features, such as extreme simplicity, small number components, compactness whole system. The first part this analyzing classical geometry understand origin discontinuity in rate; second proposes new that mitigates irregularity by more than 200%. way, possible use all sectors where rate required but insulation between machine required. Together study, an analysis how main geometric parameters affect operation provided, complete explanatory graphs tables. A prototype made through additive manufacturing technologies also proposed.
