 Hydraulic Motor
• Variable speed
• Power
– High efficiency
– Energy consumption according to actual need
– Soft start (no inrush peaks)
• Control
– Independent control for each pump
– Accurate, variable control
– Low mechanical wear (impeller/casing)
– Low cavitation
– Programmable
• Minimized discharge time
• Minimum cavitation
• Liquid level
• Specific gravity
– Connection to cargo-monitoring
 Stripping Procedure
• When the cargo tank is empty, the cargo
stripping pump valve has to be opened and the
main cargo valve to be closed.
• The running cargo left is purged by means of
inert gas or air via the stripping line pipe into the
cargo line on deck.
• During purging/stripping procedure, the pump
should be kept running ( the impeller acts as a
dynamic foot valve) until the cargo pipe has
purged empty
• This procedure will generate an absolute
minimum of the remaining cargo in the pump
well
 Pump Body
• It is welded or flanged to the pipestack.
• The hydraulic motor is very compact and
located inside the pumphead and
surrounded by return hydraulic oil.
• Short independent shaft supported by
bearings lubricated by hydraulic oil
• Connected to the impeller.
 Features
