Gerotor oil pumps are widely used for the lubrication oil of an engine and the hydraulic source of an automatic transmission. Recently, improvements for the purposes of fuel efficiency and noise reduction have come to the forefront of the automobile industry, and it has become necessary to study the design of gerotors and ports. In this study, an expanded cardioid curve was developed, and an equation for a tooth profile with an expanded cardioid lobe shape has been suggested to reduce pump noise. The design was created using an automatic program; the program generated inner and outer rotor profiles and calculated performance parameters. Also, in order to decrease irregularity, CFD analyses were performed according to groove shapes in the exhaust port. Results showed the noise of the improved oil pump (the suggested gerotor [expanded cardioid] + the proposed port) was 5.44% lower than the existing oil pump (the existing gerotor [2-ellipse] + basic port).
