  • Page 10: 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 pumps. Their displacement effect results from three rotating screws 12 and 14 and the enclosing cartridge housing 15.
