Compared to fixed-displacement pumps, the axial-piston unit eliminates the need to divert excess hydraulic flow to the oil reservoir. This reduces fuel consumption, permits a smaller oil cooler, and ...

Pumps and pumping systems are used in power plants for primary applications such as fuel oil handling and for auxiliary systems such as lubrication and cooling (Figure 1). On average, a 300 MW ...

Fluid-handling or transfer devices are not basically concerned with the modulation or transfer of power, but only with the movement of fluid. Two major types of fluid-transfer pumps are ...
