5.2 Functional principle
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. Radial support of the screw set is effected through the
sliding contact in the cartridge housing that depends on lubrication by the pumped liquid. Screw pumps
are therefore not suitable for dry running and can only be used up to specific pressure limits and vis-
cosity limits. Due to the narrow tolerances pumping of suspended solids is not possible. The shaft
seal13 seals the main screw at the outlet of the housing. The sealing chamber is connected with the
suction chamber via a relief line.
The pump station is connected with the pipe system via the connections4 and10. Depending on the
position of the reversing valve 6 the pumped liquid flows through the left, right or both pumps.
The oil pan 2 collects leaks from the pump station.

5.4 Reversing valve
If the lever of the reversing valve 6 is in one of the two side positions, the respectively other line of the
station is separated from the fluid circuit so that the strainer of this line can be opened and cleaned. If
the lever is in the centre position, both lines are connected to the fluid circuit. The delivery rate can thus
be increased through parallel operation of the two pumps. If only one pump is being operated, the
second pump can be cut in automatically if the delivery rate or the pressure drops at the active line. In
order to ensure a uniform distribution of the operating hours, an interval-controlled automatic switch-
over between the two pumps is also possible in this valve position. The non-return valves ensure that
the respective pump that is stopped does not begin to rotate backwards.

8Control block
9Pressure-side connection
The overflow valve is integrated in the control block and ensures that very high pressures that could
result in housing parts bursting do not arise.
The overflow valve is purely there as a safety element for the pumps and should not be used for control
or regulation purposes such as maintaining pressure. If the valve is kept open for too long under ad-
verse operating conditions (high differential pressures and/or low viscosities) it will only take a few
minutes for the overflow valve and the valve seating to become damaged. As a result, the overflow
valve will leak permanently and there will be a corresponding reduction in the delivery rate. In addition
to this, circulation through the overflow valve for too long results in excess heating of the pump. This
reduces viscosity and can ultimately lead to pump failure.
It therefore has to be ensured at the system by a safety valve that the maximum operating overpres-
sure always lies under the opening pressure of the overflow valve.
Notice The opening pressure of the overflow valve is set to 110% of the differential pressure in the factory.

5.6 Pressure measurement
Notice oA function test of the overflow valve at least every 5 years is essential for the safe operation Ä Dur-
ing operation,Page22.
oScope and if necessary shorter test intervals must be specified by the operator-owner in accord-
ance with the requirements and national provisions (for example Austrian Ordinance of Safety and
Health (BetrSichV)).
oThe first function test must take place directly after the commissioning.
oAfter longer downtimes (> 4 weeks) the function of the overflow valve must be tested again.
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. In order to monitor the pressure on the suction sides of the two
pumps, two further pressure gauges3 and5 are mounted. These pressure gauges show only the re-
spective pressure at one of the two strainers and can be used to monitor the degree of soiling of the
strainers. The pressure gauge in the blocked line shows only the inner pressure of the blocked strainer.
The shut-off valves at the pressure gauges may only be opened to read the pressure values, Ä During
operation,Page22.
5.7 Strainer

1Strainer cover
2Strainer insert
The pump station is equipped with two strainers as standard. These strainers serve to separate soiling
that is normally not contained in the pumped liquid. Due to their small size the strainers cannot separ-
ate larger amounts of soiling occurring regularly, nor abrasive fine particles. In the case of such operat-
ing conditions the pump station has to be protected additionally by a correspondingly dimensioned op-
erating filter. Very fine abrasive particles can, however, not be held back by the operating filter and
cause increased wear to the pumps.
Alternatively the strainers can be replaced during commissioning by fine-meshed commissioning strain-
ers Ä Commissioning,Page20. The commissioning strainer is available from the manufacturer. A fur-
ther possibility is the use of an external commissioning filter.
The strainer inserts are made of metal and can be cleaned and reused Ä Maintenance,Page25.
