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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
