gradient). The geometry of the pump is changed periodically and determines the flow in both supply and delivery system. In a positive displacement pump there is no direct communication between the suction and discharge circuit. As a rule, a positive displacement pump is self-priming. A general classification of pump is given in the Figure 1.
