US Patent 10584702 Equal-walled gerotor pump for wellbore applications

One example of a gerotor pump includes an inner rotor comprising multiple teeth, the inner rotor configured to rotate about a first longitudinal gerotor pump axis. The gerotor pump also includes a hollow outer rotor including an outer surface and an inner surface having substantially identical contours, the inner surface configured to engage with the multiple teeth and to rotate about a second longitudinal gerotor pump axis. The pump includes a pump housing within which the inner rotor and the outer rotor are disposed, wherein the outer surface of the outer rotor defines gaps between the pump housing and the outer rotor.
