  • Page 11: Function Description

    Pump stations of the DL3 and DL4 series are suitable for pumping light oil. Pump stations of the DS1, DS3 and DS4 series are suitable for pumping heavy fuel oil. The pump stations are equipped with two KRAL screw pumps of the NE series. Screw pumps are rotating displacement pumps. Their displacement effect results from three rotating screws 12 and 13 and the enclosing cartridge housing 14.
  • Page 12: Magnetic Coupling

    5 Function description 5.3 Magnetic coupling 5.3 Magnetic coupling The shaft end of the pump 12 is enclosed by a containment can 13, that is connected air-tight with the motor-side flange of the pump. Therefore, it is not necessary to seal a rotating free shaft end against a stationary seal housing.
  • Page 13: Pressure Measurement

    6 Transportation, storage 5.6 Pressure measurement 5.6 Pressure measurement A pressure gauge 8 is located in the centre of the station in order to monitor the supply pressure. The pressure gauge is always connected to the pressure side of the station and is thus independent of the position of the reversing valve 6.
